I never thought I’d be one of those parents who insists that their child is destined for big things – fame, riches, celebrity, etc.  And, I never, ever, thought I’d be dreaming about his future in professional sports. Ever.

In fact, I was planning on letting him play whatever he liked – competatively, or not.  Although, I still plan on doing that, my son has an athletic talent that is hard to ignore.  He is a natural.

At 15 months, Q could hit a ball off a tee.  At 16 months, he could place the ball on the tee, pick up the bat, and hit the ball!  Now, at 17 months, he can hit a ball that is pitched to him!   He holds the bat and swings – and HITS the ball!  I am not sure how common this is for a boy his age, and I know I am biased, but that seems pretty impressive!

I don’t know what the future holds for Q.  All I hope is that he enjoys whatever he does and pursues his passion.  Maybe that will be baseball.  Maybe that will be ballet. I don’t care. However, I must say that it is pretty exciting to see natural talent in him!
