Mississippi walk
Running with video tape
Who knew that finding a VHS tape could be so fun. On our walk down by the Mississippi, William found this beaten up tape. He thought it was a video game. I tried to explain that you watch movies on it but that just didn’t stick. All he wanted to do is unravel the tape inside.
So he would hand the end of the tape to me or Meghan and would run ahead. We were the ones stuck with winding it up. Runners and walkers would go by. Some smiling and laughing and some annoyed as he tried to empty the cartridge.
William at the end wound up wrapping some of the tape around himself while dragging it down the road. Too funny!
Finish line counting
Sometimes WIlliam and I bike over to St. Thomas football field. To see the big boys play and to run around on the field. After biking over, running along parts of the track, and running the stairs he runs a 100 yard dash. I time him. He ran it in 32.2 seconds. Then stood there and read the numbers after his race.
Catcher’s mask needed
This was taken in May. I had to keep tell William to back the tee up because the ball was coming off the bat so quickly that I barely had time to get my glove up. Next spring he’ll be ready for team sports.
