As if we don't spend enough time practicing, playing and watching baseball- the first thing the boys want to do when we get home in the evenings, is - you guess it - play baseball. Even on the days we don't have to rush back out the door and hit the field for practice or a game, they want to hit the backyard! Coincidentally enough, we literally have a practice field right behind our house. The boys love to go out there and play as a family and there is usually at least one or two neighborhood kids that join in. One day in particular, Cason really wanted to pitch. I had been pitching the ball to Lucas for several minutes so I let him take a turn.
I gave him the ball, and just as he tossed it in the air toward Lucas, I told Lucas to NOT hit it as hard as he normally does - to just tap it since Cason was pretty close in front of him. Well, I no more got those words out and ...WHAM! Lucas smacked the ball, it slammed into Cason right in the eye, he literally flies backward and lands on the ground screaming. I may or may not have had a minor panic attack. It took a lot of TLC and an ice pack to make it all better but it wasn't long before he was ready to "hang out" some more. Literally.
He was still a little pouty here and there.
And ultimately decided that for the time being, he'd watch the game from BEHIND the fence. ;)
