Worst Blogger Ever, Part 2

Okay, now that I am a bit more motivated, I'll try to summon a few Liam stories.

1. Baseball. Liam has been improving a little in baseball, and seems to be still enjoying it quite a bit. Last week, we went out to the batting cages in the evening, and Matt pitched while I played catch with the alternate boy outside of the cage, then we switched. It was soo much fun, even despite the fact that neither boy is really able to either throw or catch. Finn has a pretty decent swing, though. Liam learned what "hustle" meant, at least in terms of moving fast. That evening, as we tucked them in, Finn said to me, "Mama? I liked playing baseball with you today." So sweet! I love baseball! Last night, Liam got hit in the face with a ball, and Matt was off in the bathroom with Finn. I was still at work, so one of the coaches checked on him. I felt a little guilty when one of the parents commented to me on it, but he didn't seem upset by it at all. At least he also got a good hit in!

2. Biking. We went out to the Shelby Bottoms greenway this weekend, and Liam showed off his biking skills. I rollerbladed, and he went twice around the loop on his bike. We had so much fun! I'm not sure that Matt has as much fun pushing Finn on his trike. Liam was working pretty hard on his 12" wheels, though, and I think a 16" bike is in his near future.

3. Swinging. Liam has learned to pump his legs on the swing, and now proudly gets himself started and goes way up high. I was excited too--no more pushing! But then I learned that my job is to watch him pump his legs and get way high into the air.
