To My Favorite Little Baseball Player,
Today you turned 8. I have so cherished these last eight years, watching you learn and grow into the wonderful little man you are. You continue to teach me about motherhood, patience, and baseball, which is your life.
You are still very much, all about baseball. You would play it non-stop if you could, and frequently get in trouble for hitting and throwing balls in the house. You check out books from the library that have anything to do with baseball, play baseball tournaments with yourself, and draw pictures of Fenway Park. You continue to amaze me at how good you are at anything and everything baseball. So good that the two best teams in our division begged you to play for them. I get chills watching you play.
You love books and are getting into Harry Potter. You and Daddy have started reading the Series, and you love it. You are now almost done with the third book. We all look forward to watching each movie after you finish each book. You love to play on the computer, and can spend hours playing baseball (what else?) or Poptropica with your sister. You also love to play board games, and beat mommy most every time. You are almost as competitive as I am, and I admire this quality in you. You love Bay Blades too, and we all like to have competitions to see whose Bay Blade will win.
You are such a smart little man, and you do very well in school. You are in the 3rd grade now, and love math the most. You are in the gifted and talented class at school and enjoy it as well. You make friends easily, and have lots of them. Kids are drawn to you because of your gentle and funny and sweet personality. Your daddy is still your best friend.
Your sister continues to adore you, and wants to be with you always. When you are in trouble, she is your biggest advocate asking if you can get out of your room yet. She still calls you Nahnie, and endures baseball all day just so she can be with you. You told her that you will watch every one of her games when she plays ball next spring, and she tells everyone who asks her about baseball that you told her that.
I am thankful to God everyday for you, and look forward to watching you grow everyday. You, my Austin, are amazing. And I love you with all of my heart.

Austin at the Bowling Alley on his birthday. We had a bowling-baseball party. Daddy and Austin made the cupcakes, which were decorated like little baseballs. And then we went to a RedHawks baseball game. What a fun, perfect day.
