Scoop It

Glenn saw this little lacrosse set at Target the other day and of course Tate needed it."You gotta start them early," he told me. Glenn tried to teach him to hold the stick and scoop up the ball with the net. He kept saying, "Scoop it Tate. Scoop it." So now Tate calls the sticks "Goopit". When he sees them on the ground, every time he's playing with them, he says "goopit" over and over. Glenn couldn't be more proud. I mean, really, who looks more excited in these pictures?
Glenn also got him a little plastic golf set. He tried to teach him to hit the little balls with the different clubs. He said, "whack it, Tate". So now golf clubs are "whackit". Tate could care less about the actual process of hitting the balls with the clubs. But it is fun to carry the sticks around the house. And this little bag is fun to drag around too.

So we've been doing a lot of "goopit" and "whackit" around our house. Once Glenn and I even set up our own miniature golf course in the house and played with Tate's clubs while Tate took a nap. Glenn even used the appropriate club for each different shot. Good times.
