CRAZY!!

Yes, you read that right - I think I'm CRAZY!! Today we signed up Courtney for softball. She is thrilled as one of her classmates (new to the school) is signed up also. The opening day is Sept. 4th. Games will be on Tuesdays and Sunday afternoons and it will depend on her coach if they will do Saturday practices. This is more 'fundamentals' softball - hitting, pitching, throwing, catching and baserunning. She can not wait for it to start.

IF she likes it, she can sign up for the spring season which is more 'intense' and not so much fundamentals. Also, at the time (spring), CJ is eligible for catball (basically t-ball and running bases with no keeping score) OR soccer. He has been wanting to do baseball and soccer for so long that he'll get to choose.

So with her now in softball, that means another added thing to our schedules. The games will conflict with Brownies (Tuesday nights) but thankfully Jason is willing to help out and take Courtney and CJ to some of her Tuesday night games while I deal with leading the Brownies. I know all the moms will completely understand when I'm not in attendance.

She has put off dancing for right now. Her teacher, Ms. Jess, has decided not to return to Sidelines and will keep us updated where she goes to or if they decide to open another dance studio (like when Courtney first started). Courtney really enjoys dance but doesn't want to be the only one in the class - you know her - the social butterfly :o)

So, we are off to find some youth softball pants for her and comfy shorts to wear to practice. We did get a softball and a glove for her to practice with at home - we don't want her afraid of catching the ball :0)
