Mr. B and Declan, enjoying some McDonald's ice cream. The kids earned a McDonalds' trip after earning a jar full of marbles for being good. I am not a fan of reward systems and was grateful to get this one done and over with. I only started it because they really wanted to go to McDonald's and I needed to have a reason to go there. Worked.
Mr. B reading to the kids. I thought it was so sweet that they were simultaneously listening.
There are MLB Spring Training fields very near our home, and we thought it would be fun to watch a game as a family. Not so much. The kids were super bored, all they wanted to do was get cotton candy and popcorn, and run around. We left at the sixth inning. Mr. B says, we tried, we were together. I said, that was a Fail.
I took Samuel to a game a really long time ago (ie 4 years ago...) and he actually did okay. I'm hoping to take him and Caleb to another one this summer, but I don't think Caleb will be nearly as patient. Time will tell!! I'm glad you tried, though - give it time, they'll learn to love baseball! :0)
