My weekly round-up scours the internet for the best stories relevant to the preschooler set. Or at least the parents of the preschooler set. This week’s news involves an affectionate little leaguer, a future UPS delivery guy and a little girl who learned a tough lesson in unrequited love.

Wondering if coaching your child’s Little League team is worth the time and effort? The answer is “yes” and this video of a little boy running the bases and then making a detour to say “I love you” to Coach Dad proves why perfectly.

Adam’s been married for about a year but Mila’s mom just broke the devastating news to her this week, teaching little Mila a tough lesson in unrequited love.

Don’t worry, Mila. By the time you’re old enough to get married, Adam will most likely be shopping for someone new. You’ll probably be the perfect age.

(Too cynical?)

This baby got to hang out in the drivers seat of a parked car, which clearly sent him on a power trip because he assumed he got control of the radio too.

He just wants to listen to his jam, Mom.

In “that never happens!” news, new mom Rebekka Garvison was nervous to go on her first plane ride alone with her infant, Rylee. Fortunately, the travel gods were on Rebekka’s side that day and sat her next to the baby whisperer.

Why am I always seated next to the grumpy man with body odor?

Cassidy does NOT want to go down for a nap. But instead of crying about it, he makes his case perfectly clear using only body language. That is pretty solid negotiating technique!

Halloween is around the corner and many children are hoping their parents make them fancy, elaborate, fantasy-driven costumes. And then there’s this kid, who is super pumped about his “package guy” costume.

You do you, dude.

This girl cares about football and the Patriots more than I care about anything. Except she missed the memo: there’s no crying in football!

Five year-old Mazzy was almost snatched up by an unidentified farm-dwelling monster during a seasonal outing to a local orchard. Thankfully, she made it out of the chase unscathed.
