A day in the life of..

Baseball is here! Tyler had his first game on Tuesday. Mike's cousin Bernie and his wife Kathy and their daughter Mia came to the game to see Tyler in action! They are here visiting from Canada. Mia made a sign for him that said, "Go Tyler Go Go Yeah!" It was so cute! She had it like taped on to the end of a stick and was waving it around. Very cute. Tyler was proud and happy. He went out to the pitchers mound and yelled. "Hi Mia!" Tyler only got up to bat one time, but he had a nice hit and did end up scoring a run. He played catcher, first base and pitcher. He got two outs while playing in the pitcher position. He loves playing that position. I think mostly because since the kids don't hit that hard, all the balls usually go right there. Anyway, I don't think he really trusts the other players on his team because when he gets the ball instead of throwing it to the player on the base he runs to the base with the ball. It worked, but he needs to throw the ball. As always with Tyler, you have to have some funny times - one inning he was pitcher and of course he has to go to the bathroom and I can TOTALLY tell, so I try and ask him in between batters very quietly if he needs to go. I am trying to mouth the words and point at the bathroom, but he just doesn't get it - he keeps yelling at me, "What?! What are you saying?" Finally I tell Mike to ask him and he of course does have to go and he runs off the field and into the stands to LOUDLY announce to be he is going to the restroom! But wait, the worst has yet to come. When he was playing first base, he was waiting for a batter and he was sitting there knocking on his cup (* I feel it is important to note that ALL the children do this and I have no idea why.) acting like a crazy child and I kept trying to signal to him to stop without drawing attention to him, but of course he mistakes my intentions and yells out, "Don't worry mom, I have my jock on!!" Everyone bust out laughing. He is going to be a handful!
