Alyssa and I woke up at 7am and came to my home to eat pancakes, sausage, and milk.  We played until 9:30am running between her house and my house.

GGF, Barbara, and I took GGM to an eye doctor's appointment.  They have free coffee, sodas, and chips.
And they have a tiny play room for kids.  I had that room all to myself.
I played a game on our iPad
From noon to 1:20pm Alyssa, Maddie, Barbara and I played at the neighborhood pool.  Because Maddie was there we got to play in the big pool.  Barbara swam with us.  We dove for our colorful rings, had free style races, tried to sit on the bottom of the pool.  We did any kind of trick we could think of.
I was running and fell.  I had this little boo boo.  I showed it to Barbara, then I was off running again.
Alyssa and I played with Cole for a little while, then he went home.  He got mad about something.
Of course, I was totally innocent.

AT 4pm Barbara told me I needed to come inside and rest until time to get ready for my double hitter t-ball game tonight.
Maddie and I played "store" in my room for the next hour.  I was the customer and I bought almost everything that was on my toy shelves.  When we finished we put everything back on the shelves.

I was dressed in my ball uniform before Mommy got home from work.  We are dog sitting for one of Mommy's friends in the neighborhood, so I went with her to let the dogs out and give them fresh water and food.  We are doing this in the morning and in the evening from Wednesday to Saturday.

The children on my t-ball team range from 4 to 6-years old.  There are two other boys that are the same height as me.  I am one of the better players.  I played outfield, third base, mostly first base, and second base.  We rotate so everyone can learn how to play different the positions.
During the two games tonight, I made many very good plays.  I made a super throw from outfield to first base for an out.   At third base, I tagged the base for a forced out.  I made several outs at first base.  I even ran down a few runners for outs.   I think all of my hits went to the fence and I always made it to first base.  My coach is disappointed that I will be too old for his spring team.  I am gaining a lot of confidence playing on this team.  Again, they are not really keeping score, but I think we won both games, with scores being something like 15 to 25.  The games started at 6:15 and were over by 9pm. Here is a series of pictures showing me in action:

Below are some photos taken by my Boy Scout Tiger camp leader.  Her son was playing on the opposing team.  They are similiar to the ones above that Barbara took with her phone, but they are better pictures.  Christine Campbell has a very nice camera.

















Everyone says I am a pretty good little athlete.
