Lil’ Sluggers

At the beginning of the month, Grant went away to San Francisco. He’s always really good about bringing presents home for his girls, and he always tries to bring something that signifies where he went. This time, he brought each of the girls a ball and bat set that say Giants on them. He gave me a cozy, green hoodie that says San Francisco. He gave us our gifts Friday morning before going to work, and when he got home, he took the girls out in the yard to play some ball.

Unfortunately, their game didn’t last too long, not even some batting practice. Eleanor quickly abandoned trying to hit the ball with the bat so she could pretend to be a dog. And Phaedra wandered off to collect sticks and look for bugs. Hmmmm, maybe this daddy needs a boy.    

In their defense, they did play around with them in the house during the day. Eleanor was even able to hit the ball a few times when she tossed it up for herself. Maybe they’ll develop more interest in sports over time.

Maybe not.
