It's the middle of may and I'm wrapped in a thick blanket this morning! It was 42 degrees when I got up. The wind died down though. Yesterday it was blowing so hard that it knocked me into the door on my way back from the laundry room.
Tom had a baseball game last night. I thought for sure they would cancel it because of the crazy wind, but they didn't. All the other teams did, but not our game. Crazy boys. It wasn't bad though. Since it was still light out, the sun was warm on our backs. Tom's team had to forfeit since they were short four players. Grr...Why do people do that? It's a team sport, you can't just not show up because you don't feel like playing today. Half the team shows up to practice, too. What the heck man!? They played the game anyway, since they were there and it was a great game to watch. Since we already forfeited the game, the coach put in any of the boys who wanted to try pitching. It was pretty crazy. Tom played catcher a bit and got to get a boy from his team last year out. That made him happy. I love watching Tom play. He is very confident and knows what is going on in the game. When he started last year, he had no clue how to play baseball except that you hit the ball and run. Now he is the master of the rules, at least. He is getting much better at the skills, too. He had two great hits! One even surprised him as he ran to first. He did his trademark fists in the air "YES!" and then realized he had really hit it and made it all the way to third. The part I love to see though is how much attention he gives to the game. You have to watch it. He looks like a mini pro.
Jake made a friend at the game this time. Actually, he always makes a friend. There are boys from his team last year, or little brothers and sisters of Tom's teammates that he is running around with. Tonight, he sat there with a little brother on the bleachers and talked with him for a long time. I heard him ask who his brother was, how old he was (5), what team he played on, etc. Jake is always nice to little kids. He loves them. I think he prefers their company to kids his own age. He makes faces at them and carries them around. It's pretty stinkin' adorable.
