Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Avery & Daddy at Caswell

Last night was the first time this season I have been able to take Avery to watch one of Jon’s softball games. Avery has been to a few of my Monday night games but all of Jon’s games have been past Avery’s bedtime or the weather has been bad, but finally last night it was a 6:15 game on a perfect night. Taking Avery to softball is totally different this year, he doesn’t just sit in his stroller and look around any more, he wants to run and explore. 
When we first got to the game Jon was playing third base so we sat right by the fence and watched and waved to him. After spending half an inning with Daddy while his team was at bat we moved on to the bleachers, where parked the stroller and started exploring. Avery made a new friend, Noah, whose daddy plays on the same team with Jon. After a little motherly encouragement the two little boys were sitting at the picnic table sharing goldfish crackers and cheerios. After their snack  I got out the few cars we brought with us and the boys played. Losing interest in the cars Avery decided it was time to explore again.  As he ran and explored, he had a little shadow. Another little boy was following Avery every where he went, it was so cute, Avery kept looking over his shoulder to make sure his friend was still there. They never said a word to each other, just ran and smiled.

Being silly with Daddy

 Avery was a real social butterfly last night, he didn’t talk too much but he smiled and waved at everyone he passed. He is such a great little boy, I just love him so much!
