The munchkin and I stopped by the community field house to meet up with the big redhead who was there playing soccer, and ended up staying for hours. The little guy kicked the ball around with his Papa for a bit, but then noticed a few 6 and 7 year olds playing baseball with their dads and decided he wanted to play too. Of course this was in his usual redheaded fashion involving lots of stomping.
He "borrowed" a bat and a tee from one of the little boys, and began copying them by hittting balls over and over again off the tee.
Did I mention he is only 2?? It was pretty incredible to watch, as I had no idea he could hit it so well. If I didn't know better I would think Grandma Penny has been out there with him practicing on the sly.
On second thought, that may not be a far stretch. . .
OK, we may have a lot to work on here. He refused to stand on the right side of the tee. Or hit the ball in the right direction for that matter. He thought that big white square was a great place to aim for.
I just really want to know what happened to my tiny little boy. He has disappeared and this small little man-boy person who yells, "Hey mama, look me! Hit bessbolls! Hi-ya!!!!!" has taken his place. And when he hit a particularly good one into the tarp, he turned to us and yelled, "Goooooooaaaaaaaaal!"
We may have our sports mixed up, but we sure are having fun.

That is adorable. It looks like everyone had a great time... and for the record, I am more than a bit jealous that you have an indoor batting cage nearby, as my regular one will not open until Mid March.
