Well, Ajax had his first T Ball game tonight. I was able to leave work a bit early so that we weren’t rushed. We swung by the house and picked up Dave and then headed to the fields. Ajax looked pretty cool in his uniform and was very excited but reserved for his first game. Noomi was very excited about the game and kept pointing to all the kids and so wanted to run after the ball every time it zipped by. Luckily Noomi was content eating all the various snacks we brought and playing with the water bottle.
Watching five year olds play T Ball is pretty entertaining. Everyone is yelling instructions and encouragement and the kids are totally oblivious to what they should be doing. At one point Ajax was playing first base and the ball landed on his foot, so he just stared at it. The coach kept yelling pick it up Ajax, pick it up! When he picked it up he just looked at, like, now what? Mid way through the game Ajax had to use the restroom, which was a long hike across the fields (about the length of a football field). After he peed and we were 1/2 way back to the game, he announced he had to use the bathroom again, number 2. Needless to say he was out of the game for a while and by the time we got back he had to hustle out onto the field to take up the short stop position.
This past weekend we also went to a graduation party up north for one of my cousin’s daughters. The kids had so much fun running all over the place. My grandpa Nader was also there, which was wonderful!
