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!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm an Aries! OMG, the tball kids are so cute - the coaches have been trying to get them to stop tackling each other while fielding the ball! And Henry has yet to figure out he needs to run to first base after he hits - he always chases his own ball!
DeleteI'm super late to see this, but it sounds like you had a really fun April! That sounds fun with Mario Galaxy movie, what a neat experience. I hope you also have a great May! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jordan!
