What is it with little boys? How do they come out of the womb just knowing what to do with balls?? The first time Caleb saw a basketball hoop, he ran right up and started dunking balls, laughing and cheering himself on. He's never seen Matt or I do that... We don't own a hoop..... Katherine is completely uninterested.... And, Caleb doesn't watch sports on TV -- yet....
So as a result of his new found love of basketball, I got Caleb a basketball hoop for Easter. I put it in the living room so that he can play while I cook dinner and it keeps him entertained for hours. He will stand and shoot FOREVER. Actually, Matt and Caleb can stand and shoot FOREVER. I've removed all the breakables from the area -- with TWO kids shooting (and one from "downtown") I can't risk it... Katherine and I just go about our business. HA-HA-HA!!
So today, we went over to the Burkle's to play with Ben and Michelle. All the kids were outside playing in the backyard on the swing set and in the sandbox. All of a sudden, Caleb gets out of the sandbox and make a bee-line for the baseball bat. He carefully placed the little baseball on the T and swung for the fences. It was hilarious. I really wish I had the video camera. But, again, my question is... how did he know that the ball belonged on the T and he should hit it??? He didn't see anyone else playing with it... They're born with it, I tell ya!!
I guess next time I make a Target run, a little baseball T and bat are in order. Matt will be thrilled since he's all about baseball! This will DEFINITELY be an outside toy...
Today is the start of the weekend, and I'm sooo excited. Matt is taking Thursday and Friday off work -- it's just to study, but he's still off work!! Tonight we're going over to Rick and Danyel's house for a neighborhood pizza party. I'm so looking forward it!!
