Sick Day

O is home from school today. He had an impressive fever most of the weekend. This morning he is still fighting it. As with any fever, it goes in cycles: he seems run down, tired, not interested in doing anything then his fever breaks and he is ready to run around the house. It is hard to hold him down!

I've had a headache for the past couple of days which is how his seems to have started. I may just head back to bed. He is all set up on the couch and doesn't need anything right now. C took M to preschool this morning. So, I'm all set for a snooze.

More first game photos

His first at bat he struck out. However, he didn't get a bad attitude about it like he has been prone to do in the past so that was great!

He never struck out again and was hitting really well. C captured a picture of one of those moments.

They still rotate through all of the positions. Here he is playing catcher.

"Yes, mom, I see you. Take the picture. Can't you see I'm playing a game here?!"

First Game of Fall Season

O had his first game of the fall baseball season yesterday. This season he has advanced to hard ball machine pitch. The team did really well and it is amazing to think back 3 years ago when they were all playing mini t-ball and just learning skills! They have developed into quite a team We are all proud of them and they are having fun.

O and MV ready to play.

The machine that pitches to them.

Warming up for his first at bat.

"Baseball ready."

Just dropped M off at preschool. Week 3 and when I hang out for a minute to make sure she is ok, she points to the door and says, "Mom go" with an eye roll.
