"baseball 101" by Hudson

Hudson always has a captive audience when AJ is around.  what's not to love about that??  see, the thing is, the rest of us do try.  we really do.  but 100% of the time Hudson's stories morph into long and elaborate versions that are part truth and part fabricated.  such is the case with the videos below.  each one is about three minutes long, but even still, i had to post them. i know i'll love reliving these moments in a few years time... this particular evening was a laid back Friday~ also a pizza night which is often the way we like to cap off a busy week.  AJ was struggling through dinner, yawning more than he was chewing, and everyone but Hudson and myself had left the table.  Jeff was dropping off a few kids at youth group.  Hudson launched into a baseball discussion, and i don't even remember how it got started.  all i do know is that he had been going for some time before i clued in and decided it was cute enough to secretly record on my phone.  baseball shoes were on, gloves too.  off he went....i picked up the video more than five minutes into the mostly one-sided conversation of baseball tips....sweet AJ has a way of making Hudson feel like he is the "king pin".  so, naturally Hudson ran with it.  i was giggling on the inside, loving the glorious preciousness of it all...

 
 
 
 
(not sure what happened when my camera went wonky and recorded the bench and my foot at the end of the second clip.  whatever, i'm amateur...)

so, this is a perfect way to signal the start of baseball season.  wrestling wraps up in a few weeks, and tomorrow Hudson heads out for his first ball practice.  AJ will be starting as well on Saturday mornings in the next little bit.  both are very excited.  i am too.  i look forward to the warm sun and the familiar sounds of the baseball field.  watching the team develop and improve over the season. enjoying the time with other parents and grandparents.  sitting and watching the promise and fun each game holds.  summer enjoyment at its best...

if the snow ever melts, that is...
