From Soccer Dad, Chapter 1:
I do not know whether I sensed physical sturdiness in Scout when she was born in 2003, or whether I was determined to create it. I do know that within a week of her birth, I was doing a thing I called “baby calisthenics,” setting her up on the couch in a seated position and letting her slump down and land on her face. Her mother didn’t exactly encourage it, but seeing that the kid seemed to enjoy it, she allowed it to pass …
… honestly, I think I wanted a live-in sports buddy, and I sensed very early that Scout could be that buddy. I didn’t want to live vicariously through some sports exploits of hers; I wanted somebody to play with, myself!
