Jack and Baseball

Jack loves baseball. He has a glove he wears almost everywhere. He has a baseball cap. He has baseballs and bats. He is constantly pounding his mitt, hitting his ball (or asking you to!) off the tee, running and sliding into "first base" (the front door), throwing... He will sit fascinated and watch a baseball game, and his favorite book is a Baseball A, B, C book ("B" is for base... etc.) Recently he noticed that catchers wear masks, and nothing would do until he could have a catcher's mask! Erin went on-line and finally found a child's catcher's mask - and it has arrived! Unfortunately, even though it is in the smallest size available, it is still too big and heavy for Jack - so he insists his mother wear it! It makes an especially fetching picture to see her in catcher's mask, holding Alex with one hand while she nurses and throwing baseballs for Jack with the other!
