The games have a nice pace to them as well. Each game has a one hour time slot, so the teams spend a few moments warming up, then the game starts. Play continues until the air horn is blown, and since there are no inning requirements and no scoring the game is over when it’s over. We had some reservations about getting the kid signed up in too many extra things, but the schedule for the season was appealing – less than two months, no more than two nights a week for an hour each, and no weekend commitments – it just seemed like a fun thing for a sporty girl. It’s nice having so many other things offered at her school, like violin and studio art and cooking, etc. It makes it easier to make school nights what we wanted them to be – relaxed, family dinner, bath and reading. The occasional night at the ball field isn’t much of an exception to that rule.
And here’s a good shot of the bottom row of teeth on this kid. The front two are permanent teeth – she lost those on Christmas Eve and while on Spring Break vacation. The teeth on either side of those big teeth are so loose that they sit in there at an angle, and she barely bites down anymore with her front teeth. I predict a Memorial Day double header. And I’m not talking about baseball here…
AP will want to check out those teeth in the morning. We are going to play with some friends tom., and she was asking all about this one little boy. Once she got done with all the questions and was quiet for a SHORT period, she asked if he was five. I replied no, and she quickly let me know that he hadn’t lost any teeth like Ella. She continued talking about it for five minutes. She is nuts about this tooth fairy thing!
