I got most of the laundry put away, the dog went to the groomer this afternoon and the dishes have been washed three times since my last post. Caitlin's room has been cleaned and trashed and the kids have been forbidden to play in the newly cleaned playroom. (I don't have time to clean it again before leaving for Oregon on Saturday!)
Dylan's last T-Ball game of the season was last Saturday. (Well the team has one more but we'll be gone.) We made it through the whole season without really getting rained on. We had a game cancelled due to snow but we never got rained on during a game. That's really quite amazing! Here are some pictures from the final game. Caitlin was really tired but held it together for most of the game by eating her sunglasses and playing with a little girl sitting nearby.
Dylan amused the whole crowd with his hilarious and very serious take on the game. He told me that he is learning about baseball by watching the Mariners. (Note the batting stance and the bat waaaaay up over his head.)
It's just as fun to watch Dylan running the bases.
Notice the tightly balled fists. I think they help him run faster. I have loved T-Ball just as much as Dylan! It is very entertaining to watch- the team has a wide spectrum of entertainment: there are the kids that never quite got the hang of the game and run from home to 2nd base or forget to run all together, the kids who run right past the base and into the forest to pick flowers, the kids who really know what they are doing and amaze you that someone so little can play so well, the kids who don't have the attention span for the game and lay down while fielding, and last of all the kids like Dylan who give it their very best effort and are so sweetly sincere that they just melt your heart. I am amazed by the progress that he's made over the last 2 months! In March he couldn't really hit the ball off the tee and now his coach is pitching to him. He can sort of catch a ball and he runs the bases in the correct order!
