another ball player

Well, we already know that Cale has quite a personality but now he has a passion. One that he has discovered on his own. He is in love with baseball. And I do mean in love! I have been playing pitcher all. day. long. for the past several days and there is no end in sight. When I got him out of bed this morning, the first thing out of his mouth was, "I love baseball. I'm good at baseball. I just smack that ball!" Aww. It's so cute to watch him play.

Connor loves baseball as well. Coby played t-ball last year and doesn't have a love for it. He is more interested in drawing and building legos...anything involving creating/using his imagination is right up his alley. He is SO talented in those areas. Coby is such a good brother. He'll tolerate throwing balls for Connor and he'll bat too, just so Connor can practice catching. I love it when I look out into the backyard and one of the boys has a batting helmet on and is in batting position while waiting for the other to throw the ball. You know you really do need a batting helmet on even when you are playing baseball with a tennis ball! They are so funny. What can I say, apparently they are safety guys.

Confession: I have to admit that I was kind of happy that Coby didn't want to sign up for t-ball again this year because it means two less practices a week and one or two less games as well. Now we can go as a family to all of Connor's games and not have to decided who is taking who to their game. It is so much more fun that way. But, I have a feeling that as soon as Cale is old enough to join a team we'll be taking two little fellas to games and practices again! I'm going to enjoy this year tremendously because it's gonna get crazy next year.
