We signed Casey up for Tee-Ball. He had his first practice last Friday and had a great time. We went to the store and got him a tee, bat, practice balls, pants, glove etc and he is very proud. He had to get a glove that looked like his Dad's, and he HAD to sleep with it because Eric told him that he slept with his glove when he was little. We are looking forward to watching him play games.
Emily wants to be right there in the action. She loves to watch Casey practic hitting the ball off of the tee. She sits on the step at the door until he hits the ball and then she claps and runs after the ball and brings the ball to Eric for Casey to hit it again. She also had to have a glove and ball too when Casey and Eric were playing catch.
Casey is doing a great job with school and learning to read. He's at reading level 14 which is above the average level.
Emily is almost 18 months old and is learning new things by the second. She can point out a bunch of letters (M, D, C, E, N, P, R, S) and says "Mom" for the M, "Dad" for the D, etc. She knows a bunch of body parts (Head, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, ears, cheeks, arms, hands, tummy, legs, feet, back). She has a toy that has a mat with all of the letters of the alphabet with a picture of an animal on each spot, and then animal toys that match. She can put each animal in the right spot on the mat without any help. She also loves to jump and is very proud of herself when she jumps off the ground.
It's pretty fun to watch Casey and Emily interact with each other. He is a great big brother and Emily loves her brother.
