A day in the life of..

Sorry, things have been hectic for sure.

Yesterday Tyler had a "concert" at school. It was so cute. The whole 2nd grade played their fluteophones. Tyler was so excited about it. He was front and center and in true Tyler form was blowing harder than all the other kids. I thought his eyeballs might pop out!

What else..

Baseball has been going great. He is still loving it. He pitched his first game a few weeks back and let me tell you he was so happy! I think everyone that knows Tyler knows that he has been waiting his entire baseball career for the day that he could actually pitch. His first game was awesome. He was so cute and looked like a real pitcher!! I mean it's not like he watched major league baseball that much but he had all the movements of a real pitcher. He struck 2 people out and just did a really good job. Twice the ball game back to him and he made some great plays but his firstbaseman couldn't catch! When he got off the mound he was drenched in sweat!! It was so cute. He pitched a second game about a week ago and I had to miss that game but Scott said that again he did great. He struck 2 people out again. Let's hope he keeps up the good work.

First Communion is this weekend and he is getting pretty excited for that. Last weekend we had his Jesus Day Retreat and basically they made all these things for First Communion. Like a banner, a tile thing that will hang in the church, a platter that will carry the gifts and also they baked a loaf of bread. Of all the things that was the only thing he seemed to like doing. He hates arts and crafts! He is not the most patient child for sure! I was glad I was there with him because he needed some gentle pushing for sure!! Anyway, at the end of the day they gave all the children their little mini loaves of bread and said that a lot of times what people do is they take the bread home and freeze it and then on Communion day they get out the bread at the celebration and break the bread as a symbolic gesture of the day. I thought that sounded like a pretty good idea and everyone could have a piece of the bread that Tyler baked. How sweet. So anyway, we get all out stuff and head home. Once we got home I told Tyler to be sure and get all his stuff out of the car. He hands me a ziploc bag. So I ask, "What is this from?" Tyler says, "It was from my bread." "Where is your bread?" Tyler - "I ate it." So on the way home he ate the entire loaf of bread!! That kid is a hoot! So, there will be no symbolic bread breaking going on Saturday. Oh well.

Tonight is his last class and then his big day. I hope it is special for him.
