Baseball.

Louie got a "real" baseball bat, ball and glove from Uncle Rick and Auntie Drea for his birthday. Have I ever mentioned his undying love of baseball?? We can't drive by downtown Minneapolis without him saying "hey, that's the Metrodome, where the Minnensota Twins play." Or else he asks where the Twins play when we drive by St. Paul. We're going to the Twins game on Thursday afternoon for his birthday and he can hardly wait!
But, the point of this post is that he's been outside everyday with his bat and ball practicing. He's actually been out practicing since he got his batter, batter, baseball set in early June. At three, he's able to hit the ball when it's pitched to him. It's awesome that he's able to make contact with the ball!

He cranked this one across the yard tonight. We don't have a big yard, but it was still a great hit!

Then his Dad helped him put on his new glove and he practiced catching and throwing the ball. He still needs work on throwing, sort of side arms the ball.

But I see weeknights and weekends spent at the baseball diamond in my future. AND I see him really enjoying outdoor baseball at Target field next summer! Yeah!!! Can't wait to see what game we get in the season ticket package we bought into! It's going to be so much fun!
