T-Ball From the Perspective of 3-4 Year Olds

(Let me begin with saying that this morning was the most organized, chaotic fun I have had in quite some time!)

1) If while fielding one retrieves a ball, it is okay to run the ball to the base to tag the opposing player out rather than throwing it to the teammate covering the base. This just makes sense.

2) If a ball is hit in the in-field, every player on the team must run to retrieve the ball. Tackling is okay if deemed necessary.

3) The only thing that takes longer than growing up is waiting in the batting line. Especially if your last name begins with a 'T'.

4) It is okay for multiple players to run off the field at any time during the game to say 'Hi!' to Mommy and Sissy. I mean, why not?

5) If one hits the ball and runs to first base, the base then belongs to that person. Forever.

6) Even the pros wear coats during cold weather. They have to keep their arms warm. Seriously, ask Craig Biggio.

Valentine's Playdate for Sea Turtles

 Caden's preschool class met for a pre-Valentine playdate to decorate cookies at Frost, a bakeshop in The Woodlands.

 Waiting patiently :)

 First, spread the frosting. 

Second, pour the sprinkles.

 Now, for a taste...

Good food with good friends equals GREAT FUN!

" 'Nastics!"

 

 Charlotte was showing interest in somersaults so we enrolled her in gymnastics for a semester. Even though we started her in the program "for fun" it has been an excellent way to strengthen her legs! At home sometimes, I will catch her practicing class skills she is working on, like jumping or rolling!

Little Boy Shower

 A while back we attended a couples shower for Cousin Stew and Natalie who are expecting their son in February.  This shower, given by Natalie family, had a beautiful dessert table and the cutest monkey on a diaper atv ever seen!!
