Whos on first...

I love softball season. I love watching my girls play, sitting outside with the younger ones, watching my girlies be a part of a team and feel so good about their successes. I don't even mind the crazy schedule that comes with having three girls on three different teams. It is good fun.

This year is Ava's first time to play. She is loving it. I am amazed at her arm and she hits the ball on a fairly consistent basis as well.
There is nothing cuter....

Than a little girl in a softball uniform. Her number is 2. We had a hilarious conversation about the other meaning of number 1 and number two, and how I could call her my little poop. And when she was on the field, I would get to yell"Go number 2"! I had her giggling so hard I worried she would pee her pants!

Tonight watching her practice was quite amusing. If you have never watched a team of 6 year olds playing any type of game, I highly recommend it. Better than stand up comedy. Her coach was trying to teach them where the bases were and their names, so he was calling out a base and having them run to it. Most of them would run as a pack, and if the head of the pack went to the correct base, the rest would. They would look like a swarm of birds, heading first one way, then the other, changing direction together. One or two would be clueless, and run the opposite way to another base. Once Ava did this. She wasn't upset though, she was giggeling the whole time. Their coach was really great, not getting upset but finding humor in it as well. I saw him high five the kids at random times and say encouraging things. Such a good experience for my Ava.
