Tee-ball

Our family reached a milestone marker tonight. Our eldest is playing an organized sport and our first practice was held tonight. I say "our" and mean it - this is going to be an entire family extravaganza! 

Here are the notes I took down from tonight's first practice: 

1. Have tee-ball boy use the restroom before practice. He appeared to need to go the entire hour. 

2. Inform tee-ball boy that practice will last an entire hour and that he'll need to stay with his team the entire hour. 

3. Will need to talk about not physically checking in with the mama every few minutes but will need to STAY ON THE FIELD! 

4. Make sure child is properly hydrated before practice so he won't be the ONLY KID running to get a drink every 3.8 minutes. 

5. Wave like a crazy woman when tee-baller gives you his precious "thumbs-up" as he runs on to the field. 

6. Take more pictures than humanly possible. These memories won't last in this tired brain of yours. 

7. Remember to tell the story of how you also got hit in the head at your own practices and it's o-k to cry. 

8. Have daddy work on How To Catch A Ball so little son won't get hit in the head  anymore.
