FMK - Special Report

I am officially a good husband and father. You see, we went to get cloth diapers for you today. They are much nicer than regular diapers and I want your buns to be comfortable. I care too much I know. ANYWAY, while we were in Tampa this morning, I decided to take your mom over to Yankees training camp and by proxy, you girls as well. Mom didn't know that you could just go to the stadium and watch practice. It's one of the things that is absolutely great about baseball. You can watch the guys play from the stadium seats for free. And the players interact with the fans. The highlight of the day, at least for me, was seeing the reaction on your mom's face when she realized that not only were there Yankees close by but, we could go see them. She made this screaming noise that only happens when she gets really excited. Like, excited in the same way a fat kid gets when he/she realizes that not only can they have their cake but can eat it as well. However, a really close second to that is the fact that I got an A-Rod autograph today. I am not an autograph hound by any stretch. Those people can be really quite nuts. But, it is cool to have a player take the time to scribble their name on a roster sheet. It's something I will put with my other Yankee stuff. I creates a point of time in your brain. I will not be able to look at that autograph and not remember the whole day. And that is a good thing. Next year, we will go back and maybe one of you can meet a player. I think you will be far to young to care but I must admit, I am really looking forward to taking you girls out to the ballpark for practice. It is just a very cool atmosphere that cannot be recreated.
Plus, that had really awesome Yankee baby merch that your mom flipped for. You will be decked and checked in the proper attire I can assure you.
Back to family intros tomorrow. Mema is next.
