Wild Tigers!!

Tonight was Emma's first t-ball game! It was so exciting, and her team, the "Wild Tigers", did great! They played against the "Ladybugs". I ended up helping out the dugout, and helped the girls get ready to bat. It was very stressful trying to line up 4, 5, and 6 year old girls and get them out of the dugout in time to bat! And one little girl was holding a caterpillar, and didn't want to go out to bat. I told her I would hold it for her, and she gave it to me and out she went! Hey, at least it got her out in time!

Emma did great at batting from the tee the first time--she made it to third base before it was time to let the other team bat. When it was time for her team to go out to the field, Emma kept standing with her back turned to the batter! I told her to turn around and face the batter, and that is when she told me that the sun was in her eyes! We also noticed that she was talking to the coach a lot. Well, after the game was over, he came up to me laughing, and asked Emma if she was still tired. Apparently, she had told him out on the field that she was tired, and that we shouldn't be having games on preschool days! She's not afraid to speak her mind!

But she tells us that she LOVES playing, and she always looks forward to going.

Why does my son love dirt and mud???

Emma and Gabe enjoyed a treat after the game was over: little cakes shaped like baseballs!

We went to my parents on Sunday, and papaw helped Gabe ride the tricycle.
