Blue Hair = Luck

Haven't you heard, blue hair brings luck?I shouldn't give the new 'do so much credit.  Spencer's baseball performance has far more to do with a very, very (did I mention very?) patient father.  In the past few weeks tears have been shed by ALL members of our household when it came time to practice.  Spencer insisted he wanted to play t-ball this year and fearing we may have a repeat performance of soccer practice of 2007, we made the kid swear he would follow through.  He insisted he would.

That was his story anyway until the check cleared, then all of a sudden he wanted to give up and call it good.  Because we love him so much (snicker, snicker) and our bank account was now minus $100, we said, "Absolutely not".  See, I said "Absolutely not", but Alfonso did all the hardwork; he practiced with that kid every single day until the tears stopped and the smiles came.  I think we've just experienced our first miracle :)

Now Spencer can catch a ground ball

He can hit like a mini-proAnd he's got quite the armWay to go Daddy!
