First off, it was hilarious. Bottom line. Two, three and four year olds playing "baseball"...too funny.
Game was at 7pm and as soon as we stepped onto the "field" Cooper says, "Hey. They needa mow." LOL Which they DID. Felt like walking through a forest LOL We got there a little early to pick up their t-shirts. They're on the red team, so of course we dressed them accordingly.
After we got their shirts there was already a pee wee game in progress before us, the purple and orange teams, so we got to watch a little and get the idea of it would work. Each of the two teams had about 6-8 (I didn't really count) little tikes on it and each team took turns batting and fielding. Each team got two turns at bat and two turns at field.
Fielding consisted of parents and their little ones in the field waiting for a ball to be hit. Once a ball was hit the kids would run up, grab it, and take it back to the tee, so there were no "outs", which I thought was great. Some parents wanted to teach their little ones the fundamentals of course so instead of taking the ball to home, they had the ball taken to first base a couple times and they still tried to "tag" some kids out (Chloe being one of them...grrr.) but "tagged" kids stayed in play anyway. They're 2 and 3 years old. Sheesh. Anyway, as the kids took turns batting everyone would run from base to base with each hit, so everyone got to make it all the way around the field. Well those kids that didn't get distracted by the park less than 15 yards away...See while the kids were fielding the ball, parents were "fielding" their kids and trying to keep them in play LOL
Their first play Coop and Chlo were in the field and Cooper "caught" the first two balls hit and brought it to the base, but Chlo wanted nothing to do with that. Then when they got to hit of course they got excited and were all about that part of it. By the "2nd inning" Cooper was the one who got disinterested and Chloe now wanted to do all the fielding. Unfortunately she's a little bit of a slow runner and couldn't get to the ball as quickly as the boys. One time she went for a hit ball and almost had it, but one of the older boys made it there just a second before her and got it, so she just started crying this most pathetic little cry, so of course mommy consoled her in the middle of the field LOL
(After she "missed" the ball)
(Fielding...)
So since they were first to field, the were last to bat and by the time they were done batting the second time they were ready to be "done" altogether. They lined up and "shook hands" with the other team and then they got their snack :) Chloe was nice enough to share with Brodie, but Cooper just booked it straight over to the park LOL
(Brodie sharing Sissy's snack)
They got to play at the park for a little bit, but by this time it was rounding on 8 o'clock, so we had to rush them a little. Cooper had yet to use the potty and didn't go before we left home so I made the mistake of taking him into the portable potty...Bad idea. He tried to touch EVERYTHING. I got him to pee in the main potty and aim for the blue water in the bottom, which worked great until he put his hand INSIDE the urinal to steady himself to pull his pants up...Blah! Then he says, "I needa wash my hands...Hey. Where's the sink?!" Luckily daddy had sanitizer in the car, but not before he started eating Chloe's crackers. YUCK! Thankfully he was putting them is mouth with the opposite hand that he'd touched the potty with, so hopefully we're semi clear of germs... We finally got the sanitizer on and got them loaded up and headed home.
They had a great time and so did Mommy and Daddy, and Ma'am-ma and Papa and little Bro, who got to run free and play with Papa the whole time. They'll have games every Friday and I'm sure, now that they know what to expect, next week will be even better attention span wise at least...hopefully. LOL But we did end up with some great pics thanks to Ma'am-ma!
Well that's all for this update, so thanks for checking in everyone! See ya soon!
