This is our first baseball season, and I'm already just about over it. We are in the middle of a stretch of 4 games in 6 days. The last one is tomorrow, then we don't have a game again until next week. I don't think I would mind it as much if Avery was a little more tolerant of the 90 minutes that it takes to play a game. She would much rather be at the playground that is within her sight but isn't allowed to go to, or if she would just be content to play with some of the other little sisters, but for the most part she just wants to run around and keep me from watching.
When Benjamin first played, they had him play catcher. The equipment they initially gave him was way too small and his knees were completely exposed when he squatted down. One of the boys on our teams father played for the Braves for several years and he was nice enough to bring Benjamin his own pads from when he played in the MLB. Elijah was SO jealous and told Benjamin he would never fully appreciate what he was wearing. He tried to explain to him that the equipment he was wearing was actually worn on the field that the Braves played on. I think he may have gotten it then, but it may be years before it really sinks in. Here he is wearing the equipment from Johnny Estrada. 
Notice below how much bigger Benjamin is than his teammates?? He's standing next to the coach: 
Now here is her highness when she demanded that I actually take a picture of her. Because I never take that child's picture.
