I don't know exactly when it happened... maybe it was when the Minnesota Wild's or UMD Bulldog's seasons ended, or maybe it was during the month long break between AJ's regular hockey season and the start of his spring league. But all of a sudden AJ's obsession with the sport has lessened just a bit.
Don't get me wrong, he still tunes in the hockey highlights and would wear nothing but hockey jerseys if I let him, but his interest has shifted to the boys of summer.
AJ no longer asks us to play hockey in the basement. Instead he wants us to pitch to him in the front yard. His game of choice on Xbox is now baseball, not hockey. The Easter bunny's well-intentioned gifts of baseball and hockey cards were greeted with a luke-warm reaction. AJ wished he'd gotten all baseball cards.
His change of allegiance was most apparent last week at his end of season hockey banquet. Where was AJ during the party? Bellied up to the bar watching the Twins.
And he hasn't even had his first baseball practice yet.
