McLleyton might know all his princesses by name, but there is no doubt that the first love in his life is SPORTS! He can't get enough of them. He daily surpises me with a random piece of sports knowledge or vocabulary! Since it's been a few months now without football on (hopefully we don't miss a whole year of it- come on NFL work it out :)), his new favorites are basketball and golf! He LOVES golf! He loves to watch it, play it, talk about it! He knows all his clubs by name (driver, iron, putter), plus he can identify and likes to use either "Titleist or Nike" balls.
We are currently half way through remodeling our house. For the few weeks we moved back in we laid out a piece of scrap carpet in our new room. In the carpet is a round cut out (from an outlet). Within 2 minutes of being home McLleyton immediately identified it as his "golf hole" and asked for his clubs. He's made great progress in the past few weeks golfing inside daily! I think he's going to be pretty sad when our project is complete and his hole is gone!!
The other night Matt took him on a little date to the golf course! The just went to the putting green! McLleyton was SO excited about it and has been asking daily to go back. He also will ask me during the day if Matt's at work or golfing :). I think he just wants to make sure he's not missing out!
It was fun to watch these to leave and think about all the days and hours ahead the two of them will get to spend on the golf course! There is no doubt we are so blessed by McLleyton! He has the most joyful spirit, happy disposition ... and I have to admit both Matt and I love his enthusiasm for the sports :).
PS... Thanks to Uncle Trey who gave McLleyton his clubs as a baby gift :) Who knew just two years later they would be his favorite thing!!
