Staying home with my kids is such a blessing for which I am so thankful every single day. We are able to do so much these days. The weather is awesome, and the kids are too. In an attempt to catch up on the past couple of weeks' activities...
Here are some pics of Jack Everett playing some of his different roles in the family:
Baseball player: He likes parent-pitch better, but he has two parents who get worn out by his shenanigans and tomfoolery between each pitch. He is such a clown between swings and gets to giggling every time. Here is an example:

As hard as it is not to correct and re-focus him, we don't want him to think sports are more important than they really are. Instead, we just sit back and watch him be silly. As silly as he is, I must say - he has one heck of a swing.
Gymnast: Here we are at Open Gym this week. For $6, we can enjoy one hour of open play, available every Wednesday. He really enjoys it, and has almost mastered the cartwheel. The rope swing is a different story.
Lite Brite Artist: Who knew this $5.00 resale shop find would be such a hit? Mommy did! I loved my Lite Brite as a kid. It's a great way to keep him busy at the kitchen table, and yet another way to practice his letters.
Spelling Bee: He loves to spell and sound out words with his blocks from Aunt Tracy. It's always frustrating when a word contains two of the same letter. I am constantly explaining that we only have one of each letter. We spelled "HDTV" just for Daddy.
Adventurer: We decided to take a walk as a family the other night to our local library. I grossly underestimated how far it was by foot and we didn't get home until 9:30 pm. We were exhausted, Sadie was panting her little head off, Davis was sound asleep in the stroller, and Jack was complaining a little. However, he really liked using his stick to return his Books on Tape all by himself. We love our new library. Next time, however, we will drive.
Davis' Entertainment: Last but not least, I can always count on Jack to entertain his little brother. This one will certainly be one he loves to watch over and over as a teenager. Ha!

When addressing the ball, he needs to hold his bat above his right shoulder with his right elbow pointed away from the pitcher's mound. He'll get much more power from his arms that way.
Then, once he masters that, you can teach him to step into it and turn his hips to get even more power from his legs.
All in good fun, of course.
Uncle Trey.
Also, he might try choking up on the bat a bit.
