The Boy... and Baseball.

Baseball is one of my least favorite sports, so it stands to reason that of course my boy will be an amazing baseball player and I will be forced to endure hours upon hours of my lifetime watching him play.
Cause, he is. He's a natural. This kid can throw. And catch. And HIT. He can seriously HIT. He's in Little League, in what's called "Bubba Ball" - they play with rubber balls and a plastic bat. This way the ball doesn't go too far or too fast for the little guys... unless it's Riley hitting. His hits SAIL into the outfield! It's fantastic. 
He has a great team with his best friend, Garrett. The two of them have the best time playing the game while Garrett's dad coaches. The kids all rotate through the different field positions so they can learn about them all... 
Riley's favorites are first and third bases cause he gets so many people out. haha. In this one, he was catcher and tagged his opponent right before he made it home :)
Seriously. I CANNOT STAND IT. The game is growing on me. Probably cause I get to watch this kid play. I cannot believe he is mine. Remember when he was a fat bald baby?
Sigh. My boy.
