Was today Mr. Harmony’s birthday? Happy birthday, Mr. Harmony!!!
I’ve been looking at years past on this date...
Tomorrow, dgs turns seven! So amazing how scared I was to be a grandmother, and how obsessed I am with him and his little sister now.
T-ball is sooo frustrating to the old ball coach in this house. Dgs — in his second year, remember — still spends most of his time with his glove in his mouth, chewing on it... and oftentimes he is squatting down with his butt on the ground. If he ever moves from his spot, it is to spin around and look at the scoreboard, or to kick up a cloud of dust, ala Pigpen in the Peanuts comic strip.
Last night he spent a large amount of time drawing in the dirt. I went to the dugout and told him he was not Jesus; to quit writing in the dirt. He said, “I’m keeping up with balls and strikes.” Which he definitely WAS, because he called the count out, loudly, if anyone from the other team had strikes. Coach told him they ought not to heckle the other team at this age.
Sigh.
At least he does hit pretty well, but tonight he refused to run when a wild ball would have advanced him from first to at least third, and when he did cross home, his run didn’t count because he didn’t touch the plate.
Dh — about to lose his mind... no way HE could have ever coached this age. He said tonight, “I’m getting too old for this.” LOL.
Tomorrow is another day.
