Just a few more shots from some of my t-ball games.
This last game I played my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. T, came to watch. It was such an honor to have her there. She even had dinner with us before we headed to the game. It was teacher appreciation week so it was our treat to her. She is so special to all of us. We are all feeling a little (or a lot) sad the school year is coming to a close. I love school so much I have not even missed a day of school!
I still have a few more weeks of games before the season is over. If there are any more awesome photos we will post those. If not, we will leave it with this.
Can you spy Baby Sister in the first photo?
T ball is well under way. I am enjoying it and am definitely improved from last year. I am definitely the most consistent hitter - usually getting a good hit first swing. Next, I know exactly what to do in first, catcher, and pitcher positions. Still, though, I prefer a little more action than I've been getting of late.
I am my same number as last year and Mom's company sponsored my team again. Mom even purchased a helmet for me this year which I REALLY wanted last year.
Dad took some random photos of things he unloaded from my back pack. Among them - plants I brought home from school (aka weeds that I think look like Plants vs Zombies plants), my precious Daniel cat, a book mark for "chaptering", a pom pom critter, some of my work book pages from JFK, a Lego minifigure,and a "peashooter" napkin Mom drew for me for my lunch that I wanted to keep.
I absolutely adore my baby sister. I insist on playing with her first thing in the morning and will always offer Mom and helping hand when she needs someone to entertain Baby while she cooks or finishes up a chore. We play peek-a-boo and she always giggles for me when I tickle her or give belly kisses.
Today I had surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. We spent several weeks preparing and today was the big day. It was as positive an experience as one could have when undergoing surgery.
Mom made a new plant to add to my Plants vs Zombies family. This time it was "Wall-Nut" - whom I consider one of the bravest of the "plants". She also drew me a "guidebook" of plants from my favorite iPad game. My new plant and my most cherished "Daniel Cat" joined me in the operating room.
I had a great time decorating my anesthesia mask, too.
Dad accompanied me back to operating room (he even got to gown up, too). Actually, I had a whole crew of staff that accompanied me back. Surgery took 1 hour 5 minutes. We were at the hospital about 7 hours total. Love my surgeon - Dr. B.
I woke up very peacefully and quietly. My vital signs were monitored for a while before I left the hospital in style in a blue wagon. (I recall nothing of the surgery - just falling asleep and waking up - both with Dad at my side.)
When I arrived home I was given the dolls the hospital sent home for sister and myself. We get to use fabric markers to decorate their faces. They even came with hospital gowns and their own bandages, syringes, and anesthesia masks, too.
Some of the photos are from Grandparents Day, some are from me on my share day. If you are wondering why there are none with kids' faces it is because we are protecting privacy for the students. I really do have many friends at school and from what Mom hears from some of the other parents I am well liked by my peers. She has heard many of the girls say they want to marry me when we grow up because I am nice.
Check out Mrs. T up there - she is amazing how she gets us all to listen and focus.
That is Mrs. W, our principal's office. I hope to never HAVE to visit there.
Last week at school was Grandparents Day. I am most fortunate to have three grandparents who live locally and are healthy enough to attend my gathering at school. Many photos are taken from a distance because the room was so full of grandparents. It was a wonderful time. Mrs. T was awesome, as always. The first photo is of me with Grandma and Grandpa N - it was for the bulletin board to be displayed on Grandparents Day.
