Learning to Throw

One of the more surprising item’s on the babies’ motor-skill development list is the ability to throw a ball. I’m pretty sure Uncle Steve and I were much older before we learned to toss a ball, but if the experts think it’s a good idea, then I’m all for it. Benji hasn’t shown much interest yet, but Trey Davey loves throwing. He has a pretty good ball grip, but hasn’t yet developed the proper release. Sometimes he drops the ball behind him and other times he spikes the ball in front of him, but occasionally he tosses one straight and true. We really don’t like the ball thrown in the house, but right now it’s too cold to go outside. Soon, warm weather will allow us to have a catch outside and before we know it our boys will be signing up for t-ball.
