Play Ball!

Last Saturday, Sloan had his opening day of T-ball. This is his first year of Little League Baseball. We have a very competetive and well-organized Little League program in our community. Today was Sloan's first full game; he is on the Orioles. He played 2nd base, outfield, catcher and pitcher. All of the kids did great! It doesn't get much more American than Little League. They even play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and the "Star-Spangled Banner" before the game. It got me in such a patriotic mood, I would have even had a hot dog if it hadn't been nine o'clock in the morning. ;)

Little Miss Kensie cheered for "her" Sloan. She affectionately refers to him as "my So". Speaking of Kensie, I haven't written much about her lately. I'm going to do my next post just on her. Sloan has so many activities right now and because of their age difference, the poor thing probably feels like a "tag-along." Don't worry Kensie; your time is coming soon, whether it be tutus, tumbling or t-ball. :) But for now, "Let's play ball"!
