Spring Training!!

The Rogue Valley (that's where we live now. It's called the Rogue Valley because the people that settled here were kind of sissies. That wanted to name their new home something that would make others think that they weren't wusses, and thus the name 'Rogue'...I think) has been blessed with 50 degree and sunny weather lately. Lil' Rock has come down with an acute case of spring fever. He busted out his baseball glove and practiced taking some grounders.
Later, I showed Rock a picture of the England side of his family and himself. He was intrigued, but wondered why he wasn't doing the 'look' quite right.
We practiced it all morning, and finally he improved to this pose:
It's pretty good, but he's still looking the wrong way and smiling a little too much. But don't worry, we'll keep working with him to correct these errors. Your patience is appreciated.

Rock finally decided to tell the people his side of the stair falling incident, but you can tell that he's still afraid of retribution from Mommy for telling his story.:

  2. Since Aaron seems to have a fear of going to Spring Training, just send Rock.

  3. Aaron has also failed to teach Rock the correct way to wear a glove too.

  4. Leave the boy alone. He looks great with his mitt and it looks like the mitt is wearing him not the other way around.

  5. It's a right handed glove on a left handed kid. They don't make many baby lefty gloves, so, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
