jeff recently found a baseball glove at the goodwill near our house and brought it home for finn. ever since, he has been completely obsessed with baseball. the movie '
the sandlot' has been playing on repeat for days, and every night finn now insists on going to bed with his glove on one hand and a ball in the other. i won't lie, i have been using this new love to my advantage - diffusing fights around getting dressed and eating by saying 'lets try on these baseball pants' or 'one more bite so you have extra energy to play baseball!' to which i get an enthusiastic 'OK!' It's pretty amazing to see things like this happen right before your eyes. I can't wait to see all the things he grows up loving.
