Well our lives changed dramatically yesterday morning. We were sitting outside pitching the ball to Wyatt and he was swinging his "bat" an empty water bottle he's been using for the past few weeks now, when papa suggested that they go to the store to buy a new bat! Wyatt took one look at his current bat and tossed it exclaiming, "Yeah! This is a water bottle!" as if he'd just noticed that fact or could no longer pretend otherwise. He is so excited about his new bat that it prevented him from being able to nap this afternoon -- it took hours for him to fall asleep and then he was up after about an hour half way down the steps crying (b/c he was still half asleep and tired) and yelling "Papa, I wanna go play baseball." His new bat is really for T-ball, which he refuses to play b/c that isn't how baseball is played. He demands that the ball be pitched to him, by rolling it on the ground. His success rate with making contact with the ball on the new bat has dropped dramatically since switching from the water bottle -- as a result of the longer bat size. Here he is (a chip off the 'ol block, eh em) frustrated with his new obsession.
