Saturday Baseball Game Demo

On Saturday morning while Lillian napped we turned on the 6th game of the World Series for Simon (we got a MLB app on Xbox which lets us stream all the playoff games). We were watching it and the bases were loaded and the announcer said something about the guy on 3rd was calling the shots. Simon didn't understand and asked about it. I paused and tried to explain and realized it would be much easier with props. Luckily we had everything we needed. 

I got out his football men and the little baseball diamond placement we got for his birthday and I showed him that the guy on 3rd had to run otherwise the batter would be out. It made much more sense after we talked about how only one person could be on base at a time. 

We left the guys and diamond out for the rest of the game and below is Simon's reenactment of a home run that was so awesome that the ball went through the football goal. Pretty impressive hit.

Alan used some wine for cooking dinner on Saturday night (Sausage and tortellini soup) and he showed Simon how the cork came out. Anything Simon wants to look at Lillian also needs to check out. Simon had seen wine corks out at a restaurant and asked where they were from, since we don't drink much wine around the kids he was confused. We told him next time we opened a bottle of wine we'd show him how it worked.
