Why Am I Always Right?

May 6th, 2010

So last night Bo had his first practice. He had so much fun! It was hilarious, he is soooo "into" it! Had the perfect batting stance & loved hearing us all cheer for him....yes, it was just practice, but we still cheered! After practice we met Dad at dinner & he insisted we needed to take a trip to BIG 5 because apparently the hand-me-down cleats we have had in the closet were soccer cleats. Dad was not impressed.

So, off we go to BIG 5..........

We leave with a new mitt, baseball pants & a shiny new red bat. No cleats. They didn't have his size. Bo loved the bat. He slept with his bat by his bed. Mom, not so keen on the bat idea. I see disaster in the future. It was hard enough getting in & out of the car with the damn bat!

Next day, while the purchaser of the bat is at work, the kids want to go out & "practice" with the new shiny red bat. I send Averie & Spencer out to make sure no one breaks my window. Everyone had their bats now. I was really afraid the window, or the car would be hit with the bat, or the ball......not the new owner of the bat.

Didn't take long!

Grace was on the other end.......even though, "my eyes rolled back & I got kinda dizzy when it happened" (with a reenactment by Bo).......she cried harder.

Where were the supervisors you ask?? Yea, me too!!

The bat is now a "daddy only toy"!
