Practice Makes Perfect!

The boys are continuing to have their fun at daycamp during the day. When they get home in the afternoon our routine has become to go outside and practice our golf swings.

Both boys are very supportive and encouraging in my efforts to learn how to hit a golf ball. Evan is very sweet to me when I totally miss the ball.

"Did you mean to hit that one, Mom?"

"Yes, I did."

"That's okay, just try again."

When I top the ball, he gives me instructions, "Make sure you get underneath it, like this." He will then come over and give me a quick demonstration. Chad has heard Todd's instructions to me and will frequently remind me, "Bend your knees, Mom."

We occasionally hit some of our practice balls on the roof. We have an antenna on the side of our house that Evan has learned how to climb. We will occasionally give him permission to climb it, get on the roof and retrieve the balls from the gutters. It scares me to death to see him up there, so we try and not make it a regular practice.

"Oooh, that's a good one."

"I'll get the ball."

No fear here!

"I love climbing."
