Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Aidan and Brennan asked if they could both play little league this spring. I agreed, knowing that little league can be a huge time sucker of a commitment. Practice, and more practices, games and more games - it can be alot to add into the schedule.

I try to limit their activities to two at a time to soften the blow of running here, there and everywhere, but our late spring into early summer is forecasting a whole lot of overlap of activities. We will be that family, over scheduled and crazed, trying to get it all in. Between golf, soccer, swimming and now, baseball - it will be quite an interesting ride.

Brennan is overjoyed by the promise of so much athletic action. I asked him what sport he was most excited about starting this spring.

He grinned and counting off his fingers said, "I can't wait to play golf, swimming, baseball and soccer."

I laughed and said, "Well, that's all of them Brennan."

Brennnan looked serious for a minute as he thought about it and said, "I'd like to do tennis lessons again too, Momma."

Oh boy. After my non-committing "we'll see," Brennan continued, "And how old do I have to be so I can add basketball and football? I want to play those too!"

Sure, two activities at a time. That should work. All rules are made to be broken I guess.
