Batter Up!


"Ball! Ball! Ball!" Spring time is baseball time, and there's no time like the present to teach Evan. He ran to the shed the other day and, after surveying the selection, snatched up the softball and glove. It didn't take but a minute for him to try to put the glove on, though he couldn't quite get the fingers part - a glove's a heavy thing for a little hand! After a couple tries, he finally slipped the back slit over his wrist. He then proceeded to play catch with both of us for almost 5 minutes (which is a super long time in Toddler Time!). As you can see from the photo of him with Mike, his throwing stance is pretty darn good!

Click on the photos for larger close-ups. I love the faded image - his eyes are so focused! And in the shot where he's getting ready to field a fly ball, his little tongue is out in deep concentration.
