Today was picture day at school so our running club is not meeting today.
Mimz helped me fix my hair and we went to the doughnut shop on our way home to meet the school bus.  Mimz gave her left over doughnut holes to GGM and I had some leftover doughnut for after school.

I wouldn't let Barbara take my picture before school.  She took pictures of the the other boys.  There parents like getting the pictures.  I ought to know by now that when I refuse to have my picture taken, later Barbara is not going to do something I want her to do, like play baseball with me.  She thinks turn-about is fair play.  She says it is so easy for me to stand still for a few seconds and smile that she is not asking too much of me.  One day she hopes I see the light.

After school I read while I ate a snack.  I played at Austin's for a short time, then I had to come home to get ready for a baseball scrimmage game in The Woodlands.   I made many great plays.
I started out playing third base.  I picked up a grounder and made a great throw to first base for an out.  And I caught a ball to put a stealer out at third base.

My first at bat I got four balls and walked.  Then I stole three bases to score.  My other at bat: one ball and then a ball was throw at my feet and I did a dance to avoid it but it still hit me, so I got to take a base.  I was put out staling third base.  Stealing bases is fun.

Playing first base, I caught several balls to put the runners out.  The last inning, I made all three outs: I caught a fly foul ball for one of them.  I caught a throw for the pitcher and from the right fielder for the other two outs.  Oh What Fun!

I'm still waiting the have a good hit!  My really reason for not having hits is the same as all the other boys: this is kid pitch and we are not very good pitchers yet.

At home I ate a snack and took a shower and was in bed by 8:30pm, but I wanted to tell Mommy about the scrimmage, so she laid down with me.  It was 9:10pm before I was asleep.
