I've been waiting for this day

6 years, 9 months and 20 days to be exact.

What was I waiting for, you ask?

M came up to me this afternoon, baseball glove in hand, and asked his old man if he wanted to play catch with him.

How could I say no to that??

So I told him to get one of his baseball hats, and I got my hat, glove and a ball so that we could go out to play for about a half an hour. I was trying to teach him the basics of throwing and catching a baseball. He did better with his throwing than his catching which is normal. Even though V doesn't have a glove, she chased down some balls and was practicing her throwing too.

What beautiful weather we had for it too. Sunny, 75, with a slight breeze moving the cotton puff clouds across the sky.

Hopefully many more days like this to come...

And to top it off, afterwards while my kids played a board game, I got to doze off in front of the tv while watching the ballgame.... mmmmmm
