Kids & sports!

One of the moms on the November 1998 Playgroup recently signed up her 5-year old daughter for softball. She writes "Like that won't be the funniest thing you ever saw! ROTFLOL! ... She will be in T-ball, no tryouts or anything for that thankfully. She's hoping she'll get on the 'Angels' just 'cause she likes the uniform: according to her they have a 'great hairbow' for it. That's my sports girl I guess LOL!."

Is that not the funniest thing and cutest image? Here I am running, sweating, looking like livestock with floppy "udders" (and probably smelling like livestock, too), and these kids base their aspirations on hairbows! LOL!

She's a girly-girl! Cute story...

Rhonda - Love the stories about Rob. The poor kid's going to get a complex!

I've got two little kid/t-ball stories, too. My nephew at age 3 was swinging a bat at a ball on a tee, without much success. He was looking all over the place except at the ball, resulting in a lot of flailing around. My BIL went to help him out when they were playing outside my house, leaning over his and holding his hands over my nephew's on the bat. I heard my BIL say "You can't be looking around. Try to keep your eye on the ball." He took that as literally as Rob did about running "home", bent over the tee, and rested his eyeball on the T-ball. We all cracked up, he looked around thinking he did something great, and starting clapping for himself! He's now a pro hitting thrown whiffle balls and yelling for the real thing.

The little boy next door to us, also now 3, is pretending to be Nomar Garciaparra, former Red Sox shortstop with all his ritual motions - jamming on his helmet, tweaking with the cuffs on his batting gloves, tapping his toes rhythmically into the dirt behind him while he's getting ready to swing. Quite a sight!
