pool shark

Before Ben came along, Jarrett and I spent many evenings just hanging out at home, listening to music, drinking beer and shooting pool. Now we just spend many evenings hanging out at home and listening to music.

I miss the nights where we would linger over the pool table, trying to line up the perfect shot that would result in victory. Throughout the process there would be some major taunting between players and most often a bet in which the winner would score a foot rub from the unfortunate loser. I still enjoy playing pool and really love foot rubs, so from this moment forward I pledge to engage in more pool playing!

While Jarrett was away at work, I thought it would be fun to teach Ben all about billiards. I figure it's never to young to start and this way he will get tons of practice. Then some day he will be a pool shark and he can redeem lots of foot rubs like his mama!

Benjamin sat on the green felt and watched the balls move across the table. He focused on every ball that disappeared into each pocket and then would try to retrieve them. It was cute to watch him play.
