{Hitting the ground with the bat.}
Jeff and I were swimmers. I'd like to say we are swimmers, but not swimming a lap in the last five plus years officially qualifies one as an ex-swimmer. Anyways, we did not play team sports. I think each of us tried one or two when we were little, but it never took. I don't know why Jeff didn't continue with baseball or soccer, but I know I didn't like to sweat. I much preferred always smelling like chlorine and leaving the pool in the middle of winter with a wet hair over sweating it out in the hot sun.
{Staying focused.}
I'm guessing I did not have much hand-eye-coordination, but that is a hunch. Aiden does not have this problem. He is good at any sport he tries. I know I'm the momma, but seriously, this is what others constantly tell me, so there must be some truth to it.
{Running the bases.}
The boy has no problem hitting a pitched baseball, hitting a golf ball, kicking a soccer ball, or shooting basketball. It's just weird to me. I don't understand it. I never would have guessed he would enjoy sports the way he does or be good at them. Is it because he is a boy? Does it come natural for all boys? Or is it hereditary? If its hereditary, then who did he get this from? It is not me, that's for sure.
{Batting is serious business.}
I'd like to say he has a favorite, but it changes every week. Last week it was golf. This week it is baseball. And next week it might be soccer. Or not. There is no telling.
{Keeping his eyes on the ball.}
It is really fun to watch his skills develop. I do wonder which sport we will sign him up for when he is old enough. And I would love for him to enjoy swimming the way Jeff and I do, but before that can happen, he will need lessons and get rid of the life vest. That will all come in time though.
{Running the bases. This time the bases went all around the house.}
In the meantime, I am going to sit back and watch my boy have fun.
{And baseball is done. He has found the ants.}
Because when he is having fun, laughing, and smiling, I am having fun.

Must have got it from his great uncle. He's going to look pretty good in a SEMINOLES uniform some day!
