Things Dreams Are Made Of

Where We Are Headed This Weekend....

Batter Up!

(April 21, 2012)
Well, the day finally arrived. The day I have looked forward to since we found out we were having a little boy.

Our first baseball game…

It was one of those moments that will live forever.

Sweetness,

 Innocence,

Pure Love for the Game.

He woke up Saturday morning, jumped out of bed and said, “Momma, I gotta go tell Daddy today is my baseball game!” True excitement. He didn’t think 12:30 would ever come.

Game Time. He did amazing! First at bat, the coach forgot he had a leftie on his hands and so Davis got his first hit as a “baseball player” from the right side. The next at bats he was back on his side. He played third base and did great, even though no balls really ever made it to him. But that’s okay, he was ready if one did come.

I can’t explain to you the pride and happiness I felt sitting there amongst all the Mommas that day. At that place and that point in time, I couldn’t wish for anything else. A perfect moment.

I am trying to savor these moments because I know all to well the heartache that comes along with any competitive sport. It becomes a constant roller coaster of emotions. I am trying to hold on to these sweet moments in hopes they will help ease the frustrations of later years.

But right now…. We are loving some Tee Ball!

So, Christmas is long gone and I am yet to post any pictures.  We had a wonderful Christmas.  It gets sweeter each year.  This will be a complete photo dump.

Lately

Lately, pretty much the same ole routine.  You know, we all have them.   Davis is changing more and more to a little boy.  The baby has slipped through my fingers.  [sniff, sniff]  But I love him beyond all measures.  He is the sweetest child.  I know I may be biased, but it has been confirmed by others as well.  He will randomly say, "Momma, I love you."  or "Daddy, you are the best Daddy in the whole world."  With those words we soar.  The other morning, one of his teachers told me he is such a good child and doing so well.  That he was more ready for kindergarten than some of the ones that are old enough to go now.  Of course, I knew these things but it does make a mother proud to hear someone (not biased) say it as well. 

A tidbit I wanted to jot down before it gets lost in time.  Lately we have started taking a somewhat "country" road to school.  On this road, just so happens to be a small farm with Llamas.  We stop every morning, unless there is car behind us, roll down the window and listen and watch.  Davis absolutely loves it.  Some mornings they are just grazing about on the grass, others they are still nestled in the shed and some special days we get to see the "farmer" pouring feed into their troughs.  Such a special treat.
