Watching my brother live his dream
every day
Now it is Cole's turn
And I love it
I have always loved it
But with my own son catching the flies
Nervous at bat (me, not him), catcher
behind the plate
It's a whole new ball game
And did I mention how good he is?
Two grand slams in one game!
Power hitter who is also fast
That is a rare combo
I am selfishly loving that he is loving baseball
I'm not much of a football fan
Though soccer is my sport
Perhaps we'll leave that to Greer
I was biding my time at the karate studio
Going with the flow of my kid's interest
But now, I enjoy the days at the field
I know all the rules, all the nuances of the game
I can tell Cole is impressed by his mom's knowledge
And isn't that like icing on the cake?
When our kids think we are cool
I know this: it is a fleeting thing
