Baseball

It's that time of year again! The crazy season of being a Little League mom... Ryan has games basically twice a week. He has a game most Thursday nights, and every Saturday. Thursday's I teach karate for an hour, then rush to the baseball field. Keep the kids as entertained as I can for 2 hours, pack them all up in the car, get home, dinner, baths, bed for the babies, homework for Ryan, then off to bed so he can get to school the next morning. But they are all troopers for the most part. I've had my "I want to pull my hair out" moments, but we've survived thus far ;-)

Saturday morning games are pretty crazy as well. We all get up early, get everyone fed, dressed, teeth brushed, diapers, bottles, sippy cups, watter bottles, snacks, all that fun stuff, pack up the Jeep and are off to the field! Ryan loves it, and that's why we do it. Isn't that one of the most rewarding things as a parent? Doing things that aren't necessarily the easiest, but you do them because of the satisfaction you child gets out of it. It would be SO much easier to just stay home, or just send Bobby with Ryan to the gaemes, but he likes that everyone is there for him. He enjoys seeing all the people that come to watch him. That makes it worth it. So here is to an incredibly busy schedule until the end of May!

Ryan is #6 this year... following his tradition that he gets the number of how old he is. Silly kid.
