Enrichment is Fun

If you are watching with sound, you can hear that I was unable to contain my laughter at one point. Nevertheless, I attempted to frame Burrito’s silliness in the most educational way possible ;). Thanks to Krissy for the brand new Jolly Ball that she made sure Burrito had today!

We stuffed cabbage and a few nuts in each of those red ball puzzles.

    Bouncing ball Burrito. One of my favorite things to watch. This boy knows how to enrich his life. Let’s hope that ball survives to bounce another day.

    So fun to see Burrito laughing while enjoying the toy…he explored just about every property it has!

    Laughed out loud a couple of times. He was more amazing today than ever in his experimentation. I just shut off the Women’s Gymnastics broadcast, and this was a perfect follow-on, almost as though Burrito had also been watching.

    Burrito is a Jolly Ball of fun. He is so funny when he’s having fun. Does he laugh at himself?! Oh how I adore this guy.

    I think you need to send this video to the manufacturer of Jolly Balls. Seriously. Can you think of a better advertisement than this?!

      iwent back a bit to hear if he was laughing at himself–I think he was!

      Yes! He was audibly laughing at (with?) himself in this video!

    Burrito is a joy to watch and Honey B did appear to be more interested in how the red balls were hanging there than what was inside them. That curious brain of hers is always spinning.

      One of my favorite videos is of Jamie playing with a PVC peanut butter puzzle. she spends about 10 or 15 minutes getting the PVC caps off and getting the pipe into her area. Then she just walks away from the peanut butter. all she wanted was to solve the puzzle, she wasn’t that excited about the peanut butter.
      I think the title might be “rescued chimpanzee adjusts enrichment puzzle” or something like that.

    Who would have thought a bouncy ball could be such fun! These goofy delightful guys get the maximum fun and enrichment AND a complete yoga workout at the same time. Burrito’s dexterity just blows me out, but, bless him, maybe some of those moves he remembered from his “entertainment” years. That boy is a star!

    Burrito happily making squidgy noises with his rubber ball has made my day, thank you Burrito for being you!

    Burrio needs bigger bouncy balls! 🙂
    He truly does “bring the party”.

      Burrito IS the party!
      :laughing:

        Indeed!
        Have a fabulous day, Kathleen!

    Burrito…..you would be a great Pilates instructor! May be something to consider after you return with your Olympic Gold!
