Another Incredible Day

My precious fella and I just had a great day all the way around today!! He and I just enjoyed the outdoors and doing "stuff". Most of this "stuff" centered around baseball but that's okay too. Whatcha gonna do when your kiddo thinks that baseball is the best activity in the world? As a kid, I don't think being outside in the heat was my idea of the greatest time ever....things have sure changed as an adult for me. I think Hayden was God's way of getting me up and moving. :-)
As soon as I got back from getting my toes painted - (tan because Hayden thought that would look great - his first choice was blue ---yikes -- maybe I will get him interested in red or pink sometime), my biggie boy got a shower -- did not really want to do so BUT he did have baseball practice the night before and he was somewhat filthy!!! Then we headed to the park. There were not a lot of people there - so that made it even more enjoyable!!
While we were at the park, Hayden wanted to practice batting. I, of course, cannot pitch to him overhand so we just had to improvise. As we were practicing, a "walker" came by and told Hayden how good he was doing and how lucky he was that Mom was out there practicing with him. He thanked her and then wanted to know if it was not like that for everybody that their Mommas played with them and practiced with them. (Good thing the kiddo did not ask for a gift card at Toys R Us at the time, I probably would have immediately gone and gotten one since he thought this was the norm ... it just melted my heart). I wish it was that way for all kids but I'm just so thankful that God has blessed us in ways that make it possible for my kiddo!!
After we played at the park, Hay and I went to the baseball complex and watched his best bud Ethan play baseball. Hayden got to keep the scoreboard and he liked that immensely except when he noticed other kids playing on the playground and he needed to go do that for a while too. :-) When Ethan's game was over, he and Hayden played out at the complex pretending to have another game. Those two are just too much!!
Finally it was time to return home and check on Daddy. He has a terrible cold. We gave him lots of peace and quiet yesterday which was great for him. Hayden had pizza for supper, watched another baseball game on television and then retired to sleep! Whew, makes me tired thinking about it!
