Baseball Brothers

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, as normal, Evan ate breakfast while watching "Quick Hits" on the MLB channel.  Think SportsCenter but completely about baseball.  As we were leaving, Noah got up. He wanted to come with us but we were running a bit late - Evan was moving slowly.  We didn't have time to get Noah dressed and ready to get on the back of the bike.  He was very upset.

When I got home, he was still upset.  I ended up clearing a space for him at my desk and he ate his breakfast while I did some work sitting next to me.  That made him happy.

Noah had gymnastics yesterday.  His buddy Cole wouldn't go into the class until Noah got there.  They really are good for each other.

We stopped at Target on the way home to get a few things.

When we got home, Rachel made Noah lunch.  Then she picked Evan up from school.  Rachel called the hair cut place, Cool Cuts 4 Kids, and they said they could get them in right away.  She drove the boys over there.  Basically they lied.  It took so long that Rachel wasn't going to make it home in time with the boys for their respective baseball practices.  I thew their bat bags and waters in the car and met Rachel at Noah's practice.  I gave Evan's stuff to Rachel, as well as a chair to sit in.  Then Rachel took Evan to his practice.

The coach came over to tell me how well Noah did at his first practice.  He said he only had to tell Noah things one time and he would do them.  He liked how focused Noah was and how he hustled.  I was really excited to see him out there playing.  At this practice he did really well.  He seems to understand baseball and he tried to do the right thing.  He played second base quite a bit and I only had to tell him about covering the base one time and he did it every time after that.  At one point the shortstop got him the ball and Noah spun and threw to first as if he were trying for a double play.  It was great.

After practice, we drove over to Evan's practice.  As we walked up, we saw Evan playing second base.  A ball was hit into the outfield and Evan covered the bag.  A coach in the outfield threw the ball to Evan who made a nice catch.  I heard that coach turn the other coach and say "That Evan is a monster."

Both boys were super hyper after practice.  I think they both really enjoy playing baseball.  Both boys are excited to watch each other in their games this weekend.

We came home, had a late dinner.  While we got dinner ready, Evan did his homework.

The baseball brothers are in bed.  I think they are going to sleep pretty quickly tonight.

Until next time...
