Batter Up

If you asked Krieg why he should eat his vegetable and meat, his answer would be "to make me strong to play baseball." He LOVES baseball. He can name about 10 different pitches, knows where a lot of the players stand, and can wail the ball so stinkin hard! We have let him play in the house with a soft ball since our living room is long and there isn't anything really breakable in it except windows, but I am about to have to outlaw it. He has been hitting the ball all the way into the kitchen, which is dangerous territory.

One of my favorite outings is our Saturday mornings at the park. We often have play dates with our Egyptian friends, and they all know I keep our tee, bat and ball in the trunk. We always end up playing for a while. And if we don't go to the park with them, Krieg usually asks to pull the tee out anyways, and most often every boy in the park ends up playing with us. The best Saturdays are when there is a team practicing on the field next to us. Last time we sat and watched and talked about baseball for probably 30 min!
