We're working on getting up to spitting out the bitesuit. Right now he only outs for a toy, I need him to out because I tell him to not because I squeek his toy in his ear!!

I know Jessie has associated (when we play with 2 toys) that as soon as you spit the other one will fly (and with one ball, that I have to pick it up so it flies again... duh!). Then at that point you just pick up the ball he just spat, and throw that one... Vary in between both balls, and slowly eliminate the second one.

Took about a minute break from playing, then start again. You go for it while it's still in my hand, fun's over.

Which would work fabulously if he actually let go of my hand.
