Ty told me he was hungry, and I asked him if he wanted some chicken nuggets.  He said “no…. keep throwing things at me”.  I laughed on said it might get messy if I start flinging food at him.  He laughed and said “metaphorically speaking!”.  wow — how many first graders know (and correctly use!)… Continue reading Metaphorically Speaking

Wow, it's amazing what a difference a year makes! Last year in baseball Ty struggled to focus during his time in the outfield.
