Teaching the important stuff

Today Tyler and I are playing catch. Well, I am pretending to throw the ball and Tyler is pretending that he can catch it. I then give him a sip of milk. But the important thing here is I am repeating the word "ball". It is the only word that Tyler has heard me say today. In an hour it has become a word that incites pure glee, and a word that Tyler is trying very hard to say.
My point to this is, I am spending all of my time and energy teaching Tyler the most important thing in the world........playing ball is fun and it can put food in your mouth.
