Baseball Comes Early to Park La Brea

John seems to like baseball.  Every so often, he'd ask if he could watch a baseball game and I'd put it on.  He'd watch for a bit and then move on.  On one trip to the 99 Cent Store, we picked up a wiffle ball and bat for both boys.  John took to it quite well last summer/fall.  He would connect about 15% of the time that we'd pitch the ball to him.  Nicholas just like to spin around in circle with his bat.

Last week, I picked up a batting tee and a couple of plastic bats at Target for the boys.  They were very excited when they saw the tee and immediately asked me to build it.  They were so excited that they wanted to take a couple of swings in the apartment.  Guess who's head John accidentally hit with the barrel of his bat?  Thankfully, it was not hard and Nicholas just laughed it off.

Anywho, I took them out yesterday to take some swings in the courtyard behind our building.  Like a good student, John paid attention and kept his eye on the ball.  Nicholas just wanted to twirl around and play with his orange bat and ball.  There were certain times where I had to sit the boys down because they were not behaving.  Nicholas had to sit in Calm Down Corner 3 times because he didn't listen with his listening ears.  John only sat down in Calm Down Corner once.  All in all, I'd say they were very good and may have promising careers as a hitter and a twirler.
