Some of the parents bring their kids to these baseball games in the park at 7pm on Tuesdays. Some of the dads help out on the field while the moms usually sit and watch. I wanted to bring Will this week since Jeff brought him last week. I gave him his glove, sent him over with the rest of the players and got all settled in on the grass with my blanket and book. I didn't read though since it was more fun to watch Will run after the balls and throw them back. They totally included him in the game. He was so proud of himself!
There were a couple of older kids and three adults. We'd been there for maybe 30 minutes or so when I started to wonder if the pitching machine would be too fast for him. Then the adults had their turn at bat and I realized that if one of those balls hit my kid - it would cause some damage. Finally I caught on that we were at the wrong baseball field and noticed a group of younger kids with baseball bats at the other field. I wondered what these nice people thought of our inserting ourselves (mom w/blanket and camera & 6 year old with rain soaked glove) into their game like that. I enjoyed the humor of it all as I called my kid over and packed up my book and camera and blanket to head over to the right area. This time I asked the parents, "Can we join your game?" Of course their answer was YES!
Will made this beautiful artwork today for Kira. I wanted to post a picture of it after my whole blog post about their names the other day. I love all the hearts and smiley faces! I'll hang it in her room tomorrow.
Speaking of that little one...
Step 1: climb on top of seat
Step 2: bend down and eat noodles
Step 3: turn and vigorously shake back of seat
(with a big old cheesy grin of pleasure)
Step 4: continue eating noodles
Step 5: repeat step 3
