Workout

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, I got Evan up for school.  He didn't seem like he was in a good mood, though he didn't give me a hard time.  I just think he was tired.  I think he's just about ready for the school year to end.  Not that he doesn't like it, but it's been nearly 9 months of school now.

Noah got up while I was in the shower.  I got breakfast for him when I got out.  He seemed to be in a good mood. Rachel said he kept testing her later on though.  He asked for bread and jelly and then said he didn't want it...things like that.

This afternoon, Gabby came to babysit.  Rachel dropped her and Noah off to get Evan and then they all walked home.

I took Evan for a free class to test out this baseball program today.  They teach fundamentals but they also work on strength and how to throw right to gain velocity on pitches and bat speed.  It turns out that there was a boy there that Evan played tee ball with in his first year in tee ball.  For the first hour, they worked on core strength exercises.  They did many exercises up and down the stairs.  Then they used a heavy ball to twist their mid-section.  They got a band and exercised their arms and shoulders.  I wasn't sure what Evan would think of that.  He had never done it at all.  In the last 30 minutes they worked on throwing mechanics and moved into pitching as well.  I think Evan really enjoyed learning how to pitch.  I was very curious to hear what he thought at the end.  He said he really enjoyed it and wanted to do it again.  He liked it so much that when we got home, he went outside and played more baseball while I made dinner.

Rachel came home and we had dinner.  Then we put the boys to bed.  We're wondering if Evan may be sore tomorrow.

Until next time...
