Isaac is the youngest on his t-ball team. He's not really even old enough to play. They take a handful of 4 year olds (being 4 before May 1st). He's of course not really even sure what's going on out there. After the first two practices.....i was a little stressed i guess. Trying to remind myself he's not even 4 yet. So my biggest hope then was that he would just try really hard to pay attention to the coaches and listen. And have fun. He knows how to hit the ball somewhat. But catching is a different story. After Friday's practice......we were both so excited. Isaac especially when everyone was telling him good job. And when smiling...he told me...mommy i paid attention.... i listened. I was so proud....because he did...he really did. And was more himself....talked and had fun. Season starts in less than two weeks. One thing i know is....my little baseball player is going to be one cute little fella out there in his bright orange jersey! :-) And hopefully he will have fun and maybe learn a few things.....that will help him next year. And did i mention.....his team is the METS! What are the chances of that.
The good practice on Friday and so many other little things are reminders to me that my baby boy is growing up ever so quickly. And i'm not so sure i like that. I told him one day that i would probably cry when he started kindergarten...so he mentions that almost every day. Mommy are you going to cry when i start kindergarten. I say Yes...probably. Why mommy? :-)
Today as i type is the last day/evening that my little bug will be 3. That's right...tomorrow Izy will turn 4! WOW! He has promised me though that he will still be my little bug even when he turns 4. That's good.......really good. 4 sounds so much older than 3 doesn't it? Or maybe it's just me. I can't believe he will be 4. Time sure does go by so fast. Tomorrow Izy gets to chew gum for the first time. Well..sorta. thanks again Ninna. :-( That has been our deal. Long time ago i told him he couldn't have gum until he was 4 and it stuck. So i kept with it. Figured that was ok. He understands and will tell you what you do with gum when you are done with it and what you do not do. I know i know...all his little friends have probably been chewing it since they were 2. But like i said that was something he agreed on when i said it so we just kept it that way. Anyway.....we will have some gum tomorrow to celebrate.
With all the curveballs life throws you, all the uncertainties, all the stresses with work and everything......i try and remember to remind myself that bottom line is...i'm blessed. When you have a bad day.....you really have to remind yourself. But bottom line is....i am blessed....still blessed and always blessed to have this little angel-boy in my life and I get to be his mommy! God is good!
