My Two Pee Wees

It's that time of the year again...GOLF CAMP! And once again, Baylor was disappointed when he learned that he's still too young to participate. One Jaxon's first day, I explained to Baylor that he was only 3-years old and the coach says you have to be at least 4 to participate in the camp. Let's just say that news was not well received. Thank goodness, Anh had scheduled the day off on Friday, Jaxon's final day, to go and observe the camp. When Daddy invited Baylor to join in the fun, there wasn't even a nanosecond of hesitation, just a huge "Yippee!" that could be heard echoing throughout the house.Armed with their clubs, all three boys set out for the clubhouse. Baylor took a seat at the table along side the older boys and made himself right at home. After warmly greeting everyone, he let out a huge "toot" and then proudly claimed his handiwork. Despite all the "Ewww!" and "Gross!" comments from the gang, everyone giggled. I guess Baylor was accepted. Boys! I just don't get them.Coach Mike arrived shortly after Baylor's performance and welcomed Baylor for the day's activities. Coach casually asked Baylor, "What's your name?" to which Baylor responded accordingly. However, when the Coach followed with, "How old are you?" Baylor looked him dead in the eyes and coolly answered, "Four." Nice try, buddy! Coach Mike knows the truth. Anh told Baylor to tell the truth, and Baylor corrected himself with a hesitant sounding, "Three." That kid!As he always does, Coach Mike praised Jaxon on his "natural" golf talent and encouraged us to keep him interested in the sport. It's truly impressive to see how much Jaxon has improved since his first camp. Gone are the days when Anh & I would joking say Jaxon could be the next Tiger Woods. Gosh, I hope not! However, it would be great if we've discovered a sport Jaxon can enjoy throughout his life and possibly earn some college scholarship money. A parent can dream!Apparently, Coach Mike was impressed with Baylor as well because we were invited to enroll him in the weekly Pee Wee lessons despite his age. Baylor demonstrated that he does indeed have the attention span to participate in the program. So, it looks like Jaxon will have some company in the foreseeable future.The only disappointment in this year's camp was the lack of a bobblehead trophy for the participants. That's okay though. How many bobbleheads does one really need? We'll make do with the two we already have, and Baylor will never know what he's missing.
It looks like I better dust off my clubs and join in on the action or I'm going to be left behind. On second thought, maybe those clubs will just disappear...
