Satiated from our breakfast and soccer jaunt, Caleb and I came back home and looked for the next morning activity to undertake before his nap. I suggested cleaning the house and taking an early nap and he suggested baseball. …so baseball it was.

The only problem with baseball is that at the moment, Caleb quickly tires of my horrid pitching, so we typically play T-Ball instead with me holding a paper towel roll as a T. Getting a sudden spark of inspiration, I decided it was time that we make him a permanent T (perhaps it was the “bats” — water bottles, dog bones, plastic celery stalks, and anything else remotely cylindrical — flying by my face at the teetering ball that made me look for a more static solution).

Armed with a mass of tape, some boxes, and the trusty paper towel roll, I am proud to say we concocted a pretty useful T. Click on the photo, or here, to see how we made it, and then check out the movie below to see it in action!
