It's never too early....



While Wes and I will let Nate do whatever he wants, we both hope that he'll love sports. Athletics were a huge part of our teenage years so we're hoping that he likes any sport. Wes is secretly hoping that he's 7'0 tall and will provide us with our retirement. I'm not holding my breath for that one. So far, the basketball and soccer ball are his favorite toys. :)

An update on Nate: One other thing the doc told me to try to get him to drink milk is to give him tylonel 30 minutes before he's supposed to eat. That way, if his ears are the problem, the tylonel should help. And most of the time, it does. Although he still prefers to drink a bottle with dad.

So sorry Nate...no chocolate milk for you. Just grape tylonel.

Indoctrinate early...we are still trying to teach our children the value in watching basketball games during March. Maybe someday they will pick up on the enthusiasm that Jeff and I share for March Madness. Until then, keep handing him the ball!

Oh, but what can you do when your husband's gene contribution only offers two grand slams in 8th grade? (and the authenticity of said slam is up for debate)... anyways... the girls have to share their balls with Doogan, which doesn't make for a very sanitary training session.
