It's time for baseball again! Blake is on the Red Sox this year & so far is really having a great time! Baseball season is always bitter-sweet for Jake. His dad was a huge baseball fan and Jake always has a difficult time not being able to share this with his dad. Blake is really doing well this season and has started to grasp the fundamentals and is beginning to understand the game. Last season Jacob mentioned to Blake that he wished Pops could be here to see him play. Blake looked at him and said "Dad, Pops isn't missing anything. Pops & Pie (my dad) are up in heaven watching every game". It was such a sweet reminder said so matter of factly from our 8 year old son. Sometimes we need one comment from our kids to remind us of the big picture.
On a different note, during Blake's first game, someone passed out some sunflower seeds. BIG mistake! Blake was playing 3rd base, but kept digging in his back pocket and stuffing a handful of sunflower seeds in his mouth. Over & over again we watched him stuff his face! He was barely paying attention to the game! Finally the Ump told all the boys to empty their pockets - sunflower seeds were banned from the game!
