This past week, I took Alex and Noah to the Butler U. Baseball game. Alex was enthralled! He loved being so close to the "real baseball players," and hanging out near the Dawgs' dugout. He even scored a baseball from one of the Butler guys. He soon took on the role of ball boy as he chased down and returned foul balls that landed on the adjacent running track and behind the bleachers.
Periodically, Alex and Noah decided to stretch their legs a little so they ran the track. I was SHOCKED when Noah ran an entire lap around the track-1/4 mile! You go boy!!!
After a little running, the boys had a catch with Alex's new baseball.
Hangin' with the Dawgs!
It was a GREAT time. Alex learned lots of new moves from being so close to the game. At Tball the following day, he even tried to steal 2nd base! And of course, he now has to slide into the bases. His fielding has become much more dramatic--i.e. diving on the ball and throwing the ball to first base while still on his knees. And finally....yup, you guessed it...he has learned to "adjust his hardware.".....just like a "real baseball player." Carry on Little Man!
