Golf? Football? Basketball?

Charlie loves sports. Anything that involves a ball is fun to Charlie. This morning we started out playing golf. He is very particular for a two year old. He must have a tee. We just cannot play golf without a tee. 

Hank likes golf too. Except, he prefers to chew on the tee. Charlie can't stand this kind of treatment of the tee. Charlie gently and briskly takes the tee away and says, "No, Hank! Mine!" Hank usually cries because his two favorite things are Elmo and Charlie's red tee.

Then we switched to football. Charlie has a love for helmets. Although he does not have a football helmet, he does know how to improvise and pretend. Charlie's favorite part of football is tackling.  Actually, he incorporates tackling into every sport he plays. It is the cutest thing.

I thought that Charlie was pretty well occupied with football, so I decide to feed Hank lunch. Charlie comes to get me and tells me to feed Hank in the living room. I roll Hank into the living room and see that Charlie has been very busy just like Curious George (Charlie's favorite cartoon.) Charlie had moved a bar chair into the living room and was pretending that he had a basketball goal on the door. Next, he had a better idea. He brought his basketball goal to the front door and asked me to hang it high. I hung the basketball goal, and Charlie stood on the chair to make the basket. Between feeding Hank and fetching the ball, I got tired. I told Charlie he would have to start getting down to get the ball. So he came up with phase three of the basketball goal. 

Charlie had me get the goal down, and he put it on the back of the chair. This was not nearly as much fun. He quickly had me put it back on the door.

After all that work Charlie had me do, he needed a snack break. What a morning!
