all in a dither about baseball

Well, we heard so much about baseball from Charlie after we checked out a few book on it from the library that we decided to get him a t-ball set.   Here’s the blow by blow of opening it up for the first time.   But first thing first, the pumpkin has to be hugged or sat on every time we walk out our door!What is is?Balls?  and a BAT?  So exciting! The ball goes here…!Strike one! A hit! Fielding the ball.Home Run!!! (look at that face of concentration!)  Tip on how to know if you’ve had a good time:  coming in makes you cry so hard you get snot all over your lip!Help!  We’ve started an obsession!  All throughout the next couple days, he kept seeing the box and crying to go play baseball.  I hid the box in the closet in the hopes that when it was out of sight and he wouldn’t remember and ask to go play so often.  Not a chance!  He comes and asks me to play baseball at least ten times a day.  Happy (and often frustrated)  is the Charlie who finally owns his own baseball bat!
