We've been thinking of having Audrey join a tee ball team in the Spring, so I wanted to enroll her in a tee-ball camp this Fall to see if she enjoys it enough to be part of a team. Lessons started a couple weeks ago, and I noticed Audrey to be the only girl. She didn't seem to mind though! Her coaches instructed the kids to get into a line, and of course Audrey ended up knowing the little boy standing next to her. She didn't seem all that impressed with him (muttering under her breath, 'yeah, I sometimes play with him on the playground at school') but has enjoyed getting to know him and some of the other 3 year-olds in her group. It is needless to say quite entertaining for all, never knowing which direction the kids are going to run when running the bases, but Audrey has made great strides. I told Eric after our first lesson that we may have more of a social ballplayer on our hands, but after the next lessons, I could see her really getting into playing ball. There was no drawing in the dirt and only threw her glove one time (!). She's got her ready stance down and is running after that ball, getting into the pile of boys who are doing the same. She earned a medal at the last lesson, and loves wearing it around the house! She gave her friend from a school a big hug at the end of camp, and this shy little boy offered a big grin in return. Things are looking good for a Spring team!
ar a dress AND hanging out with just Eric and I. When we told her she was going to see Beauty and the Beast, she spent the rest of the day saying, "I can't believe this is my surprise!" She spent most of the Act I on one of our laps, but she toughed out the second act without problem. For some reason, she LOVES Gaston and was really sad when he met his fate. She did choose Belle though when she was told she could get a souvenir from the Broadway Across America play. She held tight to Belle on the drive home, though we heard it hit the floor of the car when she passed out from all the excitement a few minutes later!
