Playing baseball with Emerson

It was a beautiful day outside and Emerson and I played some baseball last weekend!

Oops, Emerson!  You know you need to keep those blue eyes on the ball!  I guess if you're as good as he is, you can hit the ball even with your eyes closed!

"Your turn, Mimi!"

When I hit the ball, he clapped for me...  "Yeah, Mimi!"

Now it was his turn again...

Once the ball was hit, we'd race to see who could get to the ball first.  My little guy ended up with cheeks the same color as his jersey!  It was pretty warm, in the 90's...and running for baseballs was making us both pretty warm!  Emerson didn't care... I was getting thirsty...

"Emerson, let's go inside and get a drink of water.  OK?" I asked.

"Here, Mimi... Mimi's turn!" he said as he handed me the ball.

 After I hit it this time, I said,  "Emerson, why don't you get the ball!"  and off he went...

 He had to think about it for a minute...

 I think he was trying to decide whether to keep playing or go inside for a drink of water...

 I'm not sure what this look was all about!

"Mimi's turn!"

I guess that meant he wasn't ready to go inside.
