New Baseball Pants



He doesn't know that I am watching him from the living room window, but I am. He is out in the front yard with his dad and he is fielding grounders and catching pop ups. He is becoming more confident with his glove and is starting to catch more of the balls rather than dropping them. As his confidence grow, so does his love of the game and so do his constant requests for playing catch in the yard. I don't know if there is anything better that watching father and son bonding over the age old classic game of baseball.



This morning he was so excited about his new baseball pants that I had set out for his game tonight, that he got dressed head to toe in his baseball garb, instead of the shorts and tshirt that I had sitting out for summer school. He was disappointed, but excited to wear them to his game tonight. I have to say that watching the kids play slow pitch baseball is much more fun that watching t-ball (sorry Avery), although there is also something endearing about watching the 4 and 5 year olds run around looking like bobble heads in their batting helmets.



Tonight it is back to back games with both of the kids. We will bring a picnic supper to the field and have our dinner in the sunshine and watch the kids play. Or at least I will watch the kids play and Mike will coach everyone:)
