Officially a Sports Family

Sometime late last summer, the sports gene kicked in for Jack and Spence. They went from mildly interested to rabid sports fans in a matter of days. The World Cup and MLB All-Star game definitely helped. Otherwise, the transition was fast. Suddenly Jack could spew all sorts of sports stats (from that season) and was desperate to watch all baseball and football. Well, we've now moved on from being spectators. Jack started little league t-ball a couple of weekends ago. The team is called the Royals and is made up of 10, 5 year olds. They play Sunday morning in Morningside Park under the watch of the amazing cathedral St. John the Divine. Justin jumped in too, taking on head coaching responsibilities as well as being the assistant director for the league. It's really a family affair. The big event the first weekend was handing out uniforms. Jack wore his (shocker, he's #2). So when the other kids got theirs, they immediately changed to match. They were so excited! Then

Fighting over Spotify

Save this one under "things that didn't happen when I was five" This afternoon, I was battling it out with Jack over what to listen to on Spotify. But here's the kicker, he was using the iPad at our house and I was at work on my phone...Spotify has really strict (maybe too strict?) user limits for a single account. He wanted Maroon 5. I wanted my "Running" playlist. Back and forth we went switching between songs... Ah technology. At least I'm kind of keeping up.
