most of us that know Todd know that BASEBALL is his first love
Finally he has a son to pass on the father-son tradition he had with his dad
Alec LOVES to play catch, to run the bases (in all directions), to wear the hat & shirt, and to hit the ball.
I, Mom, was not filling the position of coach very well especially since the dogs and I could not talk Alec into running the bases in the correct direction. I also wasn't much of a sport being the pitcher, catcher and fielder so our baseball experiences were limited.
I signed him up with some of the neighborhood kids to play Fall T-BALL at the U of U field house. The first few times were GrEAt! Other kids, cool building, DAD, a ball and a mit.
The problem comes that Alec does not really like to stand still in the field with everyone else and WATCH and WAIT both in line to bat and for SoMeTHiNg to hApPEn! Last Monday Alec actually told his dad that he was "TOO BIG for BASEBALL" When he got to the field house this week he found the sleds and such that are used for FoOtBaLL and they were pretty cool.
I do feel this was a success ... Alec got a HAT, a team SHIRT, got to BAT in the U of U field house, and had TeAm PiCTuReS - he now has a picture to rival the dancing sister's
