Baseball Boy

He’s a chip off the old block and already knows more about baseball than me (which really isn’t saying a whole lot!). At 4 1/2 Aaron has taken a keen interest in watching baseball with his daddy. I think it’s a mixture of loving the sport, loving numbers, loving hanging out with daddy and loving getting to stay up late watching the games.

He’s really been interested in all the other baseball teams and who they are all playing, so Greg ordered these pennant markers from Amazon. I used an old fleece blanket and stapled it onto a bulletin board and the little fleece pennants stick so he can move them around. He likes to arrange them by color or which teams have animals.

Aaron kept asking which team the Cardinals were playing with next, so Greg printed off this calendar for him. He usually goes to bed before the end of the game, so we always have to ask daddy first thing in the morning who won. He also needs to know what the score was, and how many hits and errors each team had. So, we get to practice our hand-writing while Aaron (with much help from me) writes down all this information on his calendar. I’m sure in the next few years he’ll be keeping all kinds of stats just like his daddy used to do when he was his age.

 

Go Cards!
