First time in the Lion's Den

OK, so it was a ball pit and not a lion's den but I was still a little anxious as I deposited our small boy at the entrance and watched him edge his little besocked feet down the steps. As is his usual practice, he spent a little while watching the other kids before deciding his course of action, which was to stand and throw balls at the walls - I bet he loved that, as he's not allowed to throw anything in the house. He was the smallest kid in there, but somehow everyone else seemed to flow around him (I think he might have somehow slipped into bullet time) as they dove headlong into the balls, or careened down the spiral slide. Or maybe the other kids were just careful of the little guy :)
