Batter Up

We had a bit of a "rain delay" in the publishing of this blog as there was quite an electrical storm in Starkville last night and our computer did not want to participate in the bad weather. Sorry for the delay in our traditional Wednesday blog post.

When Joshua stayed in Jackson a couple weeks ago, he watched the SEC Baseball Tournament with Nana and Coach. When we got home he started swinging his arms as though he were batting. Then Saturday morning during "guys' time" while watching SportsCenter with Dave, Joshua went crazy for the baseball highlights. He started swinging, laughed when two players fell over each other going for a pop fly and said "uh oh" when the outfielder dropped the ball.

So this...

naturally led to this...

A baseball card pose

Fielding practice

Calling his hit like the Babe

And a little batting practice

Right off, Joshua had the right idea

and with just a little practice, he did pretty good for his first day on the field!

Watch out Little League World Series, we're coming for you!
