This kid is freakin' obsessed! He loves baseball more than anything right now. There is no point for other toys in this house. Trucks, books, shovels, cars, puzzles, yeah not so much. Give him a bat, ball and glove and he is set for the day. He takes them all with him everywhere... even to bed. He says "play ball", "batter up", "home run", "strike three out", "got a piece of it" and "safe" all damn day. You ask him who his favorite ball player is and he will respond with certainty... "Babe Ruth". He has dirt under his nails that will never come out, bruises from head-to-toe from sliding in what he calls "baseball dirt". It can be a 2x2 inch pile of dirt on the pavement, or dirt he takes from my planter and throws onto the yard. He sees dirt or gravel and he slides, yelling "baseball dirt, safe!" He watches Sandlot 3 times a day and baseball at night on ESPN. We can even hear him on the monitor as he tosses in his sleep say "baseball".
He can throw the ball up to himself and hit it. He riffles the ball at you when you are not looking and only sitting 2 feet from him. I have heard of just 2 year olds liking things but this is an obsession. An obsession that some would welcome but not us... no we are just shaking our heads, dieing for a break from playing ball every night outside until dark. Read a book Cohen, paint, color in your coloring book, shoot some hoops for god sake... Just give us a break from baseball for a while would you?
