baseball season 2013 is upon us. in full "swing". :) there is a certain handsome eight year old that is taking a serious liking to the position of catcher.
incidentally, worth noting is the debate around our house about whether the original term is "back catcher" or "bat catcher". ppfff...isn't it obvious??? well, apparently not...so far my side is winning most votes, so feel free to weigh in, but only if your opinion is the first of the two options! haha...well, apparently most times the position is now simply called "catcher". regardless, Hudson loves putting on the gear and stepping behind the plate. he also plays out field, but truthfully, catcher offers a bit more action, and action is good for a busy, easily distracted, high energy kid. he's getting more consistent at both catching and returning the ball to the pitcher with a nice accurate throw. the funny picture below is from one of the first games, when Hudson asked Jeff about his new navy socks. it went something like this....Jeff was outside doing something with the pool or lawn, and Hudson came out and said "Dad, i don't know how to put on my new socks". Jeff responded, "You just pull them up, like any socks." a few minutes later this is how he emerged from the house. we did fix them before he went to play, in case you were wondering...
