Small victories and sweet babies


Baseball season is now in full swing. At least 3 days a week you will find us at the ball fieldS with games for both Devlan and Drew. Devlan's team is undefeated and he is having the opportunity to learn from some of his peers who are especially talented. Drew is enjoying the game more and more. His team is learning, slowly, but learning the rules of the game and how to make the most of an inning. At 1st Drew didn't want to really run the bases. He wanted to mosey along, kicking the dirt, and take his sweet time getting to the base sometime before Christmas. With a few candy bribes and lots of love, we managed to get him running really fast. He now comes in the dug out asking, "Mommy did you see me". It took me two time of this to figure out the "right" answer was NO. He wants to run so fast that no one can even see him. It is wonderful to see him succeeding at something. He's such a loving and precious boy and because he has the energy of 4 kids, he often gets more negative attention than positive. Baseball has really helped build his self-esteem.
Devlan is growing my leaps and bounds. He's becoming quite funny, coming up with the most random comments that are just hilarious. He's always been so serious and as he ages we are watching a little comedian blossom.
While baseball season is fun, it is also exhausting...so many games...so little time....I think I'll grab a nap :) Yeah right!
