Batter Up!

We finally had some beautiful weather today, so we spent most of the afternoon outside. I cleaned out the minivan and garage while Titus and Audra rode their bikes and scooters around in the alley (and Justus took a 4-hour nap!). Scott joined us outside after running some errands for work. Titus discovered his baseball bat in the garage and wanted Scott to play baseball with him and [NEWSFLASH] Titus LOVED playing baseball! Titus has owned that plastic bat for years, but never shown any interest in it. (Scott tried not to be disappointed by this. Baseball was his favorite sport growing up. He played for 16 years and was an incredible left-handed pitcher and hitter. He even played semi-pro for a year after playing football in college.) Out of the blue today Titus picked up the bat and was AMAZING! We had so much fun out in the backyard! Scott pitched, Titus hit and ran the bases, Audra fielded the ball, and I cheered them all on.
Here is Titus rounding the bases after his first "homerun" over our fence. Scott was teaching him how to walk around the bases with his chest out while waving to his fans!!!! LOL!
