Go Sidewinders Go!

Perhaps you've noticed I've been absent from blogging this week. Well, I've been running around without time to hardly even use the bathroom... let alone blog!

Baseball Fever has hit our house. Bryant is playing his second year of Babe Ruth. I am "team mom." Between coordinating team snack schedules, uniforms, calling parents, etc. things have been a bit crazy for me!

Bryant's had two Babe Ruth games this week. He's doing excellent. He's a natural athlete and it shows. Without much effort he's managed to hit 3 home runs and tag 6 players out!

It's such a pleasure to watch these little 4 and 5 year olds play ball. The find sheer delight in the simplest of things. They cheer for each and every player... regardless of how they do. They're excited to be outside and in the fresh air... even though it's still cold. They happily say hello to the other team players... even though they're opponents. They are competitive and keep score... and yet they know how to win and lose gracefully. Personally, I think us Adult have a lot to learn from these kids.

I'll tell you what, there is nothing cuter than a bunch of 4 & 5 year olds in their baseball uniforms. Here's Bryant and his "girlfriend" Krystel (who plays on the same team).
