A day of firsts

Yesterday, was definitely a day of "firsts" at our house. First of all, Bryn's first tooth finally decided to make it's debut! We were wondering when her pearly whites were going to decide to come out and I guess they picked yesterday! It's her bottom right tooth that's peeking out right now and her bottom left will be coming through soon after, I think. It's weird having her teeth so much later that Paige and Austin. Paige was 6 months and Austin was 4 months when they got their first teeth. Each child is different in more ways than one, that's for sure!

Our other "first" was Paige's first experience with organized sports, T-ball. She had her first practice last night and let's just say she absolutely and totally loved it. She went to bed a very happy girl. She had to go out with Daddy and me to "practice" throwing and catching before her actual practice. She loved using her brand new purple baseball glove with its matching purple and gray ball! At practice, she learned where Home, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bases were, she practiced fielding (going down on one knee, even), and batting. She did quite well hitting (which she says is her favorite part of the game) and didn't have to use the "Tee". One of her coaches tossed the ball to her and she hit the ball on her 2nd try. Now she just needs to remember to drop the bat and run to 1st base after she hits it! :0) (She definitely wasn't the only one having trouble getting this concept down!) Paige had to tell me several times last night and today that her coach called her "lightning" because she runs so fast around the bases. She really was quite fast which makes me happy being a sprinter in my younger years! ;0) It was so funny watching Paige and her teammates learn a new sport and see how much fun it is to play. Hopefully they'll always keep that love of playing and staying active throughout their lives. We'll see how they do during the season. They have games twice a week for about 4-5 weeks which will be fun! Wish the Mets, luck!!! :0)
