Nothing but baseball

All this kid thinks about is SPORTS!!  No matter what it is or where he is Richard will find something to throw, kick or shoot.  Since it is baseball season, he is obsessed with baseball.  We have had a catch in the living room every day starting at around 6:30 am (or as soon as he gets up).  He is a morning person so he is ready for baseball as soon as his eyes open.  And I agree to have a catch with him because I can do it while sipping my coffee on the couch!  Not sure why/how I agreed to baseball in the house since we do only have 3 wine glasses left, but that is a whole other story! It does get frustrating when he is reads his baseball schedule a hundred times a day instead of eating breakfast.  Does he think it changed in the last 5 minutes??
As you can see in the pictures, Richard says he wants to be a catcher.  This brought tears to my eyes because it made me think of my Dad.  My Dad always said that the catcher was the most important position in the field because they were involved in every play.  Then I started to laugh because I remembered the real reason my Dad told me that bit of baseball knowledge was to get me to play catcher on the girls softball team he coached.  It was always SO hot and none of the girls wanted to put on all of the catchers equipment.  I was the only girl he could make do it!

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
