We have had so much going on for the past few months! Baseball season is over for now, but it was an interesting season. Noah was in Pre-T this spring, and he really enjoyed himself! I could really see the progression as the season progressed. When he first began, when his team was playing on the field, Noah would run in circles around the ball, kicking up dirt and not even trying to retrieve the ball. As the season went on, though, he learned to actually pick up the ball as it was hit towards him, and he would throw it *toward* first base. He even earned his game by getting all coach-pitched hits! My little Red Sox player loved his first taste of baseball!
Aidan has also been enjoying baseball this season. Unfortunately, he was on a team that did not get very many wins. His team finished the season 1-12--very different from every other season he has had with baseball. The good news is that he really has come a long way with his playing. When the season began, his coach had him in the outfield. At Chris' urging, his coach moved him to second base, and finally Aidan became our consistent third baseman. While a lot of outs were not made at first base, Aidan consistently made outs at third, and earned himself two game balls! He also got to try out for All Stars. Out of 160 t-ball players, only 40 players were chosen to try out for All Stars, so it is a huge honor to be asked. Although he didn't make the team, he was so excited that he had the opportunity to try out and to try his hand at being a catcher, his dream position! We still have our end-of-season party with the Gwinnett Braves, but next fall, he gets to move up to Pee Wees.
Katie is finishing her last season of ballet. She made pre-pointe for next fall, but she has decided that she is not interested in continuing with ballet. Instead, she is now an official Mountain View cheerleader! I hope that she will enjoy it--it's been difficult finding something that Katie is passionate about. I can't believe that she will be through with third grade in 7 more days--where has the time gone?! She has expressed interest in art, so we are debating signing her up for art camp this summer.
All three kids are signed up for VBS, and Aidan wants to go to baseball camp again. Katie has cheer camp in late July. I can't believe Katie will be in fourth grade, Aidan will be in first grade, and Noah will be in pre-k in the fall.
