Seriously, we don't really have anything new going on! I know the title seemed like I was leading into something, but I'm not! So I will default to talking about the weather.
I must have spoken too soon on my last post when I said we didn't get a winter. It's been raining straight for the past 2 days and is supposed to go on for the next 5. I know I grew up with this, but living in the desert for the past 4 years, I'm definitely not used to it. I looked at the weather forecast today and I still find it crazy!
The main reason I'm a bit bummed about the rain is because I miss our trail! I have been walking on that trail a few times a week and we bike ride every weekend. So I miss the sunshine and fresh air and getting out there.
Austin is doing really well. Still off of playground play, but he will be rechecked by his doctor next week and I think she will release him! He is feeling great now, and is doing his homework without difficulty.
Ryland loves preschool! He brings the cutest little projects home and loves going everyday. He's such a big boy now...it's kind of sad! He talks about his teacher and friends from school all the time, so cute!
Matt and I pulled a parental fail and neglected to get Austin in baseball on time this season. Not like we didn't have a ton of things going on, but still. When I realized how soon baseball was starting and that Austin wasn't on a team, I made some calls. Well, lots of calls and emails. Our area association didn't want to take him because they were "full". Well, after more calls to our little league district supervisor, it turns out their "full" and the leagues "full" were different.
So I nicely called our area association and told them they were wrong and they had to let Austin on a team. (The district supervisor made some calls and emails to back me up!) And so, Austin is on a team! I of course had to listen to why they only want 12 kids on a team and I had to agree to help out the coach, but who cares....He gets to play! And Matt and I really don't mind helping out at all. I will volunteer to be team mom and see if they need me. We are just so excited he gets to play. He really wants to and I was so worried that he was going to miss this year.
We are all doing well and hope you are too!
Good job being one of "those" moms who refuses to take no for an answer. ;) But seriously, that's great that you got Austin in on time. I probably would've just given up and screwed my kid out of an entire season of healthy fun.
ReplyDeleteSorry that you guys are stuck in winter-mode right now. We had a week of drizzly weather too, and I'm so over it. I love overcast/rainy weather, but only in small increments. I'm still a desert rat at heart, I guess.
Glad to hear everyone is doing well!
