Take Me Out to the Ball Game

I have a future baseball star on my hands. Yes, I'm sure I'm not the first parent to think that their child is a natural athlete, but I can't help bragging. Berkley absolutely LOVES baseball and it's all thanks to his cousin, Hutch. Berkley and Meredith enjoyed watching Hutch play baseball this spring and it's obvious that Berkley has a natural love of the game. I wish I could take credit for it, I did play softball from 5th-10th grade, but I think the love of baseball comes from idolizing his big cousin! I bought Berkley and Meredith little play baseball gloves today and felt so silly when I realized that I'd gotten him a left handed mitt when he needs a right handed mitt b/c he's a lefty (sorry if that sounded confusing). Anyway, I thought he'd put the glove on his left hand and it wouldn't be a big deal...I mean, he's never been taught which hand to wear it on, so it shouldn't bother him. WRONG! That child automatically took that glove off of his left hand and put it on his right. I couldn't believe my eyes. He also knows where the ball is supposed to hit the bat and it frustrates him so bad that he can't throw it and hit it like I do. Oh and I almost forgot, as soon as he put the glove on, he started hollering for his hat. When he found his baseball hat he put it on backwards and started to play. I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the stands in the future!
