So I popped in to our next door neighbor's garage sale earlier today. Sam has bats, balls and caps, but no glove (we were trying to "pace" him). I saw a glove, yes, a pink glove. And I thought, "What the heck? It'll give him a chance to try it out." Tony was not very enthusiastic about "Pinky." As I excitedly burst through the door with my treasure, Tony said, "Please tell me you didn't just buy our son a pink glove." And I guess the whole "Oh, honey, he's 2 and it was 50 cents" wasn't sufficient. So Tony is emasculated for Sam. And to add insult to injury, it says "It's a girl thang" all over it. Tony read that aloud, shaking his head in disbelief.
But, as I had hoped, Sam is none the wiser. He is LOVE with his mitt. He immediately put it on, handed me a ball and said, "Pitch, mama." WHAAAT? He has never said "pitch" in his life. (Maybe it's "a girl thang.") He never takes it off and is currently napping with it on, much to my husband's chagrin. He wants me to pitch non stop, so I guess I better warm up my pitching arm.
The other new addition is the frog tent that we named Toby. Toby was quite scary at first and neither of them would get in it. It seems that has passed and good ol' Toby is welcome to stay.
Pinky!
Ready to catch
I caught it!
He doesn't realize he's dropping it.
Inside the belly of the beast
Good morning, Toby
