Whew, April was so busy! My birthday was at the beginning of the month - not gonna say how old I am now (I cringe!), but it was a good day with my guys, despite having to work a bit! My in-laws came over for Easter and Henry had a fun time doing his egg hunt. For Henry and his cousins, their big joint Christmas gift was to see a movie in the theater together, and when The Mario Galaxy Movie came out, we knew it would be perfect! We were actually able to get a private AMC theater - I thought it was going to be a tiny room since it was only meant for up to 20 people, but it was actually huge! Like, at least 60 seats and looked just like a normal theater. The kids all had a great time, even if they didn't sit for the whole movie, and it was Henry's first time in a movie theater, so that was exciting! The April 15 tax deadline came and went, and my company generously gave us the two days off after the deadline, so we got a nice 4 day weekend. Tom and I decided to officially join Kiwanis, so we attended a couple events and meetings. Tom ran his first 5k, which was really fun! Henry and I were at the finish line to cheer him on. Henry started tball this month; I have to admit, the first couple practices were stressful for me. Henry's attention span is like nonexistent, so he didn't participate that much, and I am "that mom" on the sidelines trying to get him to pay attention. I want him to join in with the other kids and have fun, but also be safe! Wandering the infield kicking dirt is unfortunately a good way to get hit with the ball! But, he did much better at his first game, got some good hits and even played the field a little, and Tom did a great job coaching! I enjoyed the game much more than practice - it was nice hearing all the parents cheering for everyone!

Congrats to Tom, happy birthday to you, and hooray for you both doing your volunteer thing. I remember youth sports. My daughter was ok the one season of soccer she did, but I remember kids picking flowers, chasing butterflies, and getting tangled in the goal.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sam! LOL, I know one of the moms on the team and her one son is a year older than Henry - she said it is definitely the age because her son was a wanderer last year and is doing much better this year!
DeleteYou had a busy month, but sounds like lots of fun. And so you are at the beginning of the kids' sports life. Ha! I remember those days. Our daughter played softball and was on swim team in our neighborhood. Later, she played volleyball, basketball, and continued with the softball. Lots of events to attend. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, so much to keep track of, and it's just one sport for now! We'll see how he likes it - he goes back and forth!
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday! I hope it was a great one. Are you a fellow Aries, too? I hear you about t-ball. It is chaos, but they get better each year, and they are so cute at this age! I love it when they all run after the ball. Their attention span gets better every year!
