A little early on a Saturday is a lot better than a lot early on a Saturday. The one bathroom thing strikes again but at least Owen didn’t get up right away when he heard me. He went back to sleep for about thirty minutes and then came to get his tablet. He was very quiet after that and let me sleep for about another hour. It felt huge, especially for a Saturday.
Today was baseball day, baseball day. It was a toss-up of how it would go. I kept talking to him about it and I showed him his new glove. He was hooked when he saw his glove. He was ready to go from the minute he woke up. He was also ready to go to grandma’s house but I didn’t want to tell him that he probably wasn’t going until tomorrow or Monday because of the flooding that occurred. I figured I would leave that until after we went to baseball.
He ate his first breakfast and then requested some chicken. Second breakfast it was and then we needed to get ready for his big day. He scarfed down his food which he rarely does and within a few minutes, we were out the door.
I gave him his glove inside the house and he wanted me to help him put it on. He doesn’t understand how to put his fingers in it yet but I’m sure he will be able to work through it soon. Technically he didn’t need it but I was glad he had it. He wore his glove all the way to the field.
We got to the field early but he couldn’t wait to get out on the field. I told him he had to wait until it was his turn. The younger kids played first and then it would be his turn. He wanted to “lay down under the bleachers.” I told him he couldn’t lay down under the bleachers so he laid down on the concrete near the bleachers. That was better than the rocks I talked him out of and the mud on the way in.
It was his turn to get out on the field and he was so excited. They assign buddies to the kids if they need help and Owen had a wonderful helper. Plus, everyone who was on the field was also helping to guide him through the steps.
He was able to hit the ball off the tee and his helper showed him how to run to the bases. When they got out on the field he played in the shortstop position and he also decided to sit on the pitcher’s mound. The thing is it was all fine and he had an amazing time.
When we left there we came home. Lots of food and playtime was how we spent the rest of our day. He wanted me to play games with him and he enjoyed sitting with me and talking about his day. I asked him if he liked playing baseball and he said yes. I then asked him if he wanted to go back next week and he said yes. I think that answers the question if he likes baseball.
I’m so glad he had a good day and he was very calm for most of it. He is excited about going to church tomorrow and said he wants to ask several people to come to one of his games. That makes me even happier. Today was one of those victory days and I’m thrilled. Find what you love and go after it. Dreams do come true. Smiles to all and donut daze!
