Playball!!!

Today after church was Phil's first softball game of the season. It was a 2:00p.m. game which was quite a feat to get to with both girls since it was an ushering week for Phil and that meant leaving church around one or a little after to make it there for the 2:00p.m. game. We packed a picnic lunch but Kyra ate mostly crackers. Two of Kyra's little friends from church were there with their mom watching their Dad play and the older one who is 4 was over tickling Kyra. My mom commented on what a good baby tickler was and she replied "I am!". She should be since her sister is just about Kyra's age. :) Her mom called her back over to eat her lunch and her answer was "But she (meaning Kyra) LIKES me!" What that had to do with lunch I don't know but who's to question the logic of a little girl? I was amazed that, after a bit of fussing, Kyra actually took a nap in the stroller!!! Not a long one, but this is a girl who hasn't napped while we were out other than in her carseat while the car was in motion since she was about 7 months old! Hopefully this bodes well for all day outings in the future. The game went GREAT other than it making for a little bit of a hectic day trying to do late service and then the game right away (we'll either do early service or saturday night service before the rest of the 2:00p.m. games I think so it's easier to get lunch in.) They WON!!! The first game of the season! They were up by quite a bit after the first few innings (held the other team to 0 for three innings or so I think) and then ended up down by a couple and came back to win! How fun is that? Kyra loved watching the game and clapped quite enthusiastically whenever anyone clapped (including the other team) and sometimes when no one else was clapping (like when her dad was right in front of her at first base.... base coaching. Paige was less enthralled but content all the same.
