Our first "organized" sporting event....

Harry started T-ball last night. It was an "organized" mess. There were about 40-50 kids running around. It is an instructional league. At Harry's age that 's what all the sports are, instructional. Watching all the kids running around was priceless! My favorite quote of Andy's was "Harry put the flower down and catch the ball!" :) There were dandelion's all over some with white head, so he wanted to blow them away...and that was pretty much how all of the kids were. (I forgot my camera in the frenzy of trying to get out the door, so the pics are from when we got home, we do have video of the field, maybe I have one short enough to put up) Amelia did not take the event so well. She screamed the whole time. Her buddy was out there running around doing things without her (she is definitely his shadow). I don't know if it is thankfully, but thankfully there were other siblings that had the same issue with not being involved. We will have to have a different plan of attack next week. Harry had a blast and afterwords we went for an ice cream cone, a good way to end the day.His shirt is enormous. I am hoping that it will shrink a little in the wash...well a lot, but I will settle for a little.
This about captures the first night at T-ball.


Great one of Amelia. This shows so much about her...dolly, glove and one shoe. She kept saying at the field, "Mama!! I want to play with the boys!!" I was exhausted at the end of the night just listening to her scream...she slept well last night. Hard work being the little sister.
