Trey had his first "baseball lesson" with Daddy today. (This isn't normally the kind of thing I would post on here, because really Trey and Daddy were just playing, but since I've been so bad about posting lately, I figured why not.)
Trey has a little baseball toy that Santa Claus gave him in his effort to expose him to "boy" things - the Playskool Swing 'n' Score Baseball. The object of the game is to hit the baseball - either with the bat provided or with your hand - to swing the baseball around the center post of the toy. The electronic voice on the toy then exclaims, "Oh boy! You hit a double!" or "WOW! You got a triple!" or the obligatory "HOME RUN!" The single-double-triple-home run scoring does not necessarily seem to relate to how far you hit the baseball, but nevertheless, I suppose it teaches the fundamentals of America's game.
Trey has played with the toy before, and he likes the plastic bat provided with the toy, but he's never really put the two together before. So today, Daddy worked to officially teach Trey how to correctly use the bat. Trey got it, at least for a little while. We'll consider this his first baseball lesson. Many more to come over the years!
