The glove

 I am not sure, but I believe that when I take my camera lots of places it annoys Fancy.  Well, on Saturday I really needed to document Ford getting his first baseball glove.

 We signed Ford up to play tee ball at our church.  He will be the youngest and most spastic child on the field and I can’t wait.  He can hit the ball off of the tee pretty good but catching and throwing is another story.  I’d say I know the most about baseball, as compared to other sports, and really enjoy watching it.  I got out in the yard with Ford yesterday to practice with his new glove.  I tried desperately to explain to him that in the game of baseball people don’t stand 4 feet away from you and toss the ball directly into your glove.  He just didn't get it.  He was getting so frustrated with me and yelling, “You’re a bad thower (thrower) and I’m going to tell Daddy!!!”  We have a LONG way to go.  I hope he doesn't get out there and cry on Thursday.  He is a bit of a perfectionist and slightly OCD.  I’m not sure where he gets that from!!!!

Yep, I made his caterpillar shirt!  I finally joined Pinterest and I got the idea from there.

 John Brantley started running fever last Wednesday and on Thursday I took him to the doctor and was told he had roseola.  Well, he continued to run fever and acted a bit needy throughout the day Thursday and Friday.  Trey had plans for us to go to Oxford to Double Decker and spend the night.  This was going to be my first night away from John Brantley.  Both sets of grandparents were booked so I asked Samantha to come keep the boys.  She agreed to come and keep the little monsters.  I thoroughly upset Trey when I told him I just couldn't spend the night away from my sick baby.  He was ticked…. to say the least.  We still went to Oxford at 3:00 that afternoon and were home by 11:00 that night.  While we were gone I got a text that Ford had 103 fever.  Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!  Fortunately, he only had fever on Saturday night and by Sunday he was fine.  I think John Brantley is finally fever free after 5 days too!

Samantha took some pictures of the boys in the tub.  It was a nice surprise when I was looking through my pics!

This is what I will expect at his first tee ball game!!!

He will spastically throw the ball in the air behind him or sit in the grass!

 Yep, I kiss on those chubby cheeks all day.  I’m surprised they aren't raw!

 We stopped by the Sonic yesterday, and parked on the cool side.  Yes, all Sonic’s have a cool side and I hope you already knew that!  John Brantley got feisty in his car seat so he needed to practice his driving skills.

 And Ford just wanted to sit with his momma

 After Sonic we went to some friends’ house.  The daddy is a Cajun and likes to eat weird stuff.  When I say weird I mean… squirrel.  Yes, Ford tried a bite of rabbit.  He said it was spicy.  Trey ate several pieces, and I’m sure you all know that rabbit didn't go in this mouth!  No way… No how!

I believe Trey gave John Brantley a taste when I wasn't looking.  Sneaky thing…

My baby will be 4 years old on Wednesday.  I think I may have a hard time with this birthday.  I have never cried or been sad at any other age.  I can just tell he has grown up so much in the last year and I know it will continue even more so this year.  It makes me sad, but then again so happy at the same time.  Be prepared for a long blog on Wednesday.
