Small Ball & the Big Leagues

T-ball is winding down for us...only three games to go. We have two this week (today and Thursday) and then one next weekend. Caleb has had tons of fun and is definitely getting better. He still throws the ball MUCH better at home to Daddy than at the games, but at this age, it really doesn't matter much.

On Sunday, we celebrated our friend Sabrina's birthday. Part of the festivities included the Astros game. It was Cole's first trip to Minute Maid (well, except for that time in the womb)! We sat way up, but we were in the shade and had a good view of the field. Plus, we had almost all of the kids in tow, so it was nice to be in a less crowded part of the seats. It *almost* felt like a field trip...complete with mini-lessons on how to read the scoreboard. Our little group of friends is definitely transitioning into a different stage of life. The number of children is quickly catching up to the number of adults and I'm fairly certain that the number of bathroom trips is directly proportional to the number of innings. I think next time, I'll take my "teacher flag" so we can all find each other a little easier.

The teacher flag is a great idea! We used one when we were traveling with some friends. The only problem is that the kids would fight over who got to hold it...and JR tried to use it as a weapon! ;-)

Sounds like a fun trip. Margaret
