As I mentioned in the Cubs post, Benji has a new tee-ball set from Grandma and Grandpa that's helping him learn more about baseball. Of course he has much to learn about the proper form, but he's already having lots of fun practicing his swing. I think Matthew said they play with the baseball two or three times a week, mostly at the local park. They've even brought it to the weekly playdate with a group from church and Benji was quite the popular kid that week. It's great that he's able to work on hand-eye coordination, learn baseball, and practice sharing with other kids with this toy.
For Matthew's birthday, we went out to the movies while Benji played with Grandma and Grandpa. That's when he got his tee-ball set and started learning baseball.
He had a very specific routine that day where one ball had to be on the tee and the other had to be in the storage space at the bottom. We have since misplaced the second ball (maybe Daddy's trunk?), but thankfully he's been OK with just one ball.
Isn't this a great smile?
This is from Memorial Day weekend. Notice how much better his form looks! I must admit, though, that we were specifically teaching him how to properly hold the bat that day so I don't know that this is his natural way to hold it yet. Still, looks pretty good, eh?
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
