TBall Season

We have really enjoyed baseball this year. Gehrig has played very well. He hits and fields well and helps the other kids, too. He has been asked if he would like to move up to the 6yr old league next year. We'll evaluate that decision when the time comes. We've been teaching him to wait for a good pitch. Well this last game, he did that. The crowd roared, "saying you go, make the coach pitch to you". While the other team coach said, "he does know there are no walks in Tball". Gehrig patiently waited and got his big hit!

Preschool Pre-Graduation

Gehrig's preschool had a year end party/commencement day. We are calling it pre-graduation since he will attending again next year. The teacher read an interview that each child completed. Gehrig told them his nickname is Genius, which got several chuckles including me. Afterward, I learned that his daddy has been calling him genius. Gehrig passed all the preschool equivalency tests and is doing very well. We were very pleased, proud parents.

Pegasus Parade

Gran, Gehrig and I went to see the Pegasus Parade this year. I used to watch the parade with my mother and grandmother. It was a lot of fun to share this my child and mother. The weather was perfect. It was a gorgeous day! Gehrig liked the big balloons the best. Look forward to attending next year's.

Our day with Big Red

Gehrig was invited to story time with Big Red at the library. Big Red introduced his new book about being a student at Western Ky. University. We also got to hear the first book published about being on a team. It was a neat way to introduce Gehrig to the public library.

Tball season begins

The long awaited T-ball season began on May 7. Gehrig has been practicing ever since we signed him up on January 31! He is playing for the Blue Jays this year. Gehrig was so excited to discover that three friends from school were on his team. This year the coach pitches to the kids. The first bat of the season and Gehrig fouled it right into his nose! He wasn't hurt, but it shook him up a bit. He played pitcher and did very well at fielding. The last bat of the night, Gehrig got a big hit. We were very proud parents!

Easter

What a soggy Easter week! But we didn't let this stop us from enjoying it. Gehrig and I made an Easter egg tree and a bunny cake. His school and church egg hunt were both inside, but he didn't mind as he still got lots of chocolate! As rainy as it was, I looked at this as a cleansing. Easter represents the eternal life that Jesus gave to us. It's a new beginning, new life for all us Christians. This was my new beginning to enjoying the little things in life again!

The Turkey Hunt

Gehrig went turkey hunting with Gramps and Daddy for the first time. It was amazing how he had no trouble getting up at 5:30. Gramps let him buy chocolate donuts and M&M's at the Custer General Store. Gehrig thought that was a big treat. They saw lots and lots of turkeys. Gramps let Gehrig shoot the 22 gauge shot gun he bought for him. I can see that this is the beginning of a new hobby.
