Black-eyed Asa

I used to be really nervous about throwing the ball to Asa, because I didn't want to hit him in the face. He has been so determined to improve his catching skills, he probably put in a good 2 or 3 hours of practice time just tossing the ball with me or Amy over the weekend.

He was getting so good at catching that I became comfortable throwing straight to him rather than a little off to the side. He kept asking for me to launch them high into the sky... and so I did... and he caught a lot of them! But alas, one did not make it into his glove...

Asa proudly tells the story of how his Dad gave him a black eye...
