Baseball with a two year old

Hey Dads,
This past weekend the weather was nice enough that I was able to spend some time playing out side with my two year old. Since winter has hit and the cold weather has been keeping us inside a lot, we have not had much chance to play outside. So on Sunday afternoon we went out for about half an hour and played baseball. I know that most parents brag about their children, and I am going to continue the trend. My son had hit the hard plastic wifle ball a good twenty feet, I swear if he keeps it up he is going to have his college years paid for.
What I sometimes feel is the only thing that is missing is that I am not able to play with him as much as I would like. Really there are two reasons for this, the first if obvious, I work all day, and then there are thing that need doing around the house in the evening. Secondly is the weather, while we get a great deal of sunny days, this year has been particularly cold. I know that I am feeling the cabin fever of being stuck inside just as much as he does. Sadly because I am an adult, I have better coping methods then simply running around the house like crazy because I cant go out. It’s funny but I sometimes wonder what would happen if I did follow his example when I’m feeling stuck inside? More on that later I guess.
