Tball

It was Nolan's first night of tball - and it went really, really well!  He is so excited to be a member of the Westonka Twin's team. THey lined the kids up by height, and Nolan happened to be the 7th tallest - so he is number 7, just like Joe Mauer, as Adam told him.  They had a half hour of practice and then a 1/2 hour game.  They learned to run the bases in the right order, how to get to a ground ball and throw to 1st base, and how to hit, drop the bat and run to 1st.  Nolan was super smiley and participated the whole time. The only meltdown he had was at the end of the game, when we had to go home and he wanted to play at the park.  We'll have to figure something out for next time!

Kale thought the park was great and tried to make his own friends, too - but they were a lot older than him and they couldn't understand a word he was trying to tell them! He also thought it was fun to chase some of the kids around yelling "arghhhhhhh" and walk around singing Mary had a Little Lamb.  He ended the evening by pretending to fall over in front of me in the grass and falling asleep. 

We took quick baths and after two books said prayers.  Kale went first and prayed for the usual peeps - Mom, Dad, baby, Nolan, Jane, Evy, Norah, Devin, Braden and Logan. He ended by praying for the bed and Shrek.  Nolan prayed for everyone Kale prayed for, too, plus a few more.  He added a special someone to the end of the prayer list tonight - Joe Mauer.  What a way to end the night!
