"Play Football!"

Owen loves all things sports! I don't know where he gets it. We occasionally watch sports, mostly football, but we aren't sport junkies. Owen wants to watch Nascar "racing cars", "watch football", "watch baseball", "watch basetball", and "play..." you get the point. When we go to the store, he always has a request for a new ball... "new football mama!"

Yesterday, he woke from a deep sleep and said "I wanna go sopping mama... buy bat!" For the next two hours, until we were walking through the sports aisle at Target, he kept saying "buy baseball bat nooowwww?? Now? Now Mama?" When we walk down that sports equipment aisle, he's in heaven! He really wanted the hard bat, but it would have outweighed him, so we went for the softer version. Then he immediately said "need helmet mama!"

I told him he had lots of "helmets" at home. This is the one he likes to use as his "football helmet"..


I bet you've never seen a butt scooting quarterback before?? That's talent!

I'm just guessing, but I'm pretty sure his favorite part is going in for the tackle! He loves the competition of who is going to get to the ball first. He throws it, hikes it, hits it.. whatever.. and then someone has to go retrieve it. It's always a little playful competition.

I guess now that we have a big boy WALKER on our hands.. he'll be playing real ball in no time! He's got a great arm on him. I don't know what his future in sports looks like, but we know that he is one heck of a fan!!
