Baseball Gloves

Is there anything better (to a little boy) than a brand new baseball glove? When he's a teenager, Jackson will probably want to disown me for that photo! Oh well...from what I know of teenagers, that is inevitable...so I might as well have some fun now!

Robbie brought home brand new gloves for the boys a few days ago. I got out the camera and went a little crazy. "Photo-crazy-Mom" and "Ball-chasing-sister" don't make for a great game of catch with Dad...so we skee-dattled out for a stroller walk. When we got back, Jackson showed off his skills! He had gotten really good in a short amount of time. He was throwing it right to Robbie every time and was catching it most of the time. Will would do an awesome job in right field!

See what I mean...totally cracks my up! If there were daisies in our grass, he would be kicking them! He would just hold his glove out...expecting the ball to just hop in there! When we got back he was "observing" on the patio!!

I did get one good "action" shot of him trying to catch grounders. Of course, what this shot does not show is him watching as the ball rolls right past his left foot!!! Oh...it was amusing alright!!!

All in all...a fun afternoon of watching the boys learn...well, to be boys!
