Baseball FUN!

My little ball player (with a peppermint in his mouth!) wearing his Red Sox gear and toting his Red Sox bat to go see daddy at work!



Well I am sure I have made it clear on here that Griffin is a ball player through and through! He LOVES to play baseball, wakes up asking for a ballgame on TV and to play catch, has to have a ball, glove, and bat with him everywhere we go... the boy is a junkie! Now, don't get me wrong we love this about him, and wanted him to LIKE baseball and maybe even play when he got older... we did not even consider that at 2 he would be so in LOVE with baseball that it consumes us... who am I kidding he has been this way since before he was 1! But, it is all Griffin-led and we are strong believers in nurturing his interests so we go with it! We are thankful that he will take a break every once in a while to get his music side on! He does love to dance, sing, and play instruments... but that is definitely a far second to baseball! And yes I am his Mom and I am biased, BUT he is really really good at playing and I mean REALLY good!

Anyway... Alec decided to get him a real bat, like an aluminum tee ball playing bat, and some real tee ball baseballs! We went to the park and set up, and had one of those nights that is just so fun you never want it to end! He was so pumped about his bat! We gave it to him at home and then told him we had to go to the park to play! He was awesome about being patient, but he was so excited he could hardly stand it! "Go park. Go bye bye. Hit bat, Red Sox bat. Bat! Daddy bat Griffin bat!" LOL! He didn't know how to describe it, but we knew what he meant!

Waiting for his surprise! (The bat!)


So excited!


First at bat!





Had to get rid of the tee, he likes to hit without the tee!


A little video!


And then we went over to the park for a couple minutes... he loves this slide!
