POW and BALLS!!

As you can see we have one little boy who cannot get enough of football, baseball, basketball basically anything that has to do with a ball. He owns every single kind of ball and feels as though he can't go anywhere without these precious belongings.

After getting some U of U apparel from gma and gpa and a matching Redskins Jersey with daddy this is all he wants to wear. Before Scotty left they started a tradition of wearing their Utah Jerseys on Saturday and Redskins on Sunday. I promised Scotty we would carry this tradition on with him being gone the last month and a half. Not only did this tradition include the clothes but Barrick and Scotty would scream POW and run and give each other a chest bump. So as you can imagine Barrick never forgets this and every Saturday and Sunday he yells DADA then POW and runs with all his might to give mama a chest bump. Let me tell you it is a sight, if you can imagine it gets quite interesting with my huge belly and a very active little boy sprinting towards me screaming POW!!!! And of course I LOVE it!!!


Here are some pictures of this cute little boy in his U of U jersey.

And of course his Redskins Jersey. He is saying cheese in this picture. His hasn't quite got the idea that you smile when you say cheese.

Of course Barrick with a football. You can't see Barrick without a ball at least a foot away from him.


Since he loves balls he always wants to wear the clothes that have balls on them. Here is where the story starts- So a couple of weeks ago I thought we were finally in the clear with the transition into the big boy bed. Then for about two weeks he decided that he had better things to do then take a nap. It was a battle everyday!! I don't have toys out for him to play with during nap time so there was nothing to do yet he would never fall asleep. Obviously after a couple of days he got bored and I would hear him get into his dresser and pull out clothes looking for ball apparel. He did this for a while then one day I heard a huge crash and crying...


Here is where I sprinted up my stairs as huge as a cow, scared to see what I would find, and sure enough he had knocked the dresser over, and not only that but he was naked and POO was smeared all over his room!!! He immediately stopped crying and grabbed his ball shirt and wanted me to put it on him!! I about died!!! I didn't know how to react, I was scared because his dresser fell over, I was mad because he smeared poo all over his room, and yet wanted to laugh because all he wanted was to wear a ball shirt!! Well we solved the dresser problem and moved it in his closet which he can't open, and he was fine for a couple of days then sure enough three days later another strip and POO day!!!! Wow is he something else. So Barrick now wears footed pajamas to nap in (he can't take those off) and he is finally back to napping and all of this for a simple ball shirt!!
