While raking the back yard the other day Sam decided he was going to pop one of the kids balls with the rake. Our rake was one of those wood handle ones with the heavy medal prongs -- well the ball must be indestructible because instead of popping the ball - the rake broke.(serves Sam right for trying to pop the kids toys ;)
We had the wood handle laying around - so the other day Sam got the idea of making it into a bat for Jackson. I guess he has some tools for that because he was out in the garage for a while and when he came back in - it looked like a tiny little bat! Then he decided he would burn Jackson's name into the side of it. Then he put about a million coats of clear finish on it. It's been pretty cute to see how excited he has been making this for Jax.
It's all dry now and we tried it out this morning. Jackson loves it! (of course)
I swear - we really need to get this kid into some kind of sport - he is so good at everything he tries. As you can tell the bat is super skinny - then we used a tennis ball which is not the biggest target - and the boy could still hit it!! Plus he LOVES it!! He could throw a ball all day long. He'll even just throw a ball (or a rock, or a stick, or a piece of garbage) in the air and catch it by himself over and over and over and over. Never seems to get sick of it. Sam and I just watch and laugh because of how long it keeps him happy.
I love him! :)

sam and jackson coming out of the slide on their bellies is precious, especially when jackson gets so excited and needs a high five, love it!
Are you sure sam just didn't want a bigger tv and gave jackson the bat on purpose? :)
