“Biiiiig! Heaaaavy!” Actually, at the moment she seems to think all balls are “heavy.” This particular ball actually *is* relatively heavy, but the vast majority of the other balls lurking around the house are not. To make matters worse, it is quite difficult to explain that those other balls are light, since that tactic sometimes ends with her pointing up to light on the ceiling. The only other antonym I can think of for heavy is “weightless,” and… well… since we don’t live on the Space Shuttle we don’t have much reason to use that word when describing everyday objects.
