Hit It "Boo-ies"

Thursday night we pulled out our suitcases and packed for a weekend of baseball in Oxford. Sam had not been to a game since last season and we knew this would be the first time he might really enjoy watching - if only for a few minutes.

While I was thinking he might not sit still very long....

Sam was thinking he was going to watch 6 INNINGS of baseball without much movement at all! Yes, I think we were all shocked that he sat in Adam's lap for that long and didn't take his eyes off the field. He called all of the players boys - except it came out as "boo-ies" every time he opened his mouth to cheer. "Hit it Boo-ies," "Run, run, run, Boo-ies," "Go Rellas (Go Rebels)."

For those of you that know Adam, all of those cheers were music to his ears. His hopes of having a little life-time baseball buddy had been confirmed this chilly Friday night at Oxford-University Stadium.

We had some pretty good weather for the weekend, but as you can see, Sam didn't have time to be bothered by very many pictures - he was missing the game and wasn't too happy about it!

By the time the Sunday game rolled around, we didn't even have to remind Sam to put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem - he had that under control like a big boy. We had such a fun time in Oxford watching the games but even more fun watching our sweet boy enjoy the game of baseball. I have a feeling this will be the first of many trips to watch the "boo-ies" hit it.
