Baseball is back

Assuming it is spring, that means, baseball is back. Marlene is playing her second year of T-Ball. This year her team's name is the "Piranhas". We have actually not been doing much playing, because two of her games were snowed out and one practice was canceled because of rain. Marlene is very motivated and one of the few on the team who have played before. We will see how the season goes.
Last week we went to our first Mariners game of the season. It was a cold rainy night, but at least the roof was closed. Marlene had fun and Amelia was surprisingly neutral. We managed to see half a game! And there is always the radio on the drive home.
Amelia has finally started taking ballet lessons. She has been asking about "ballerina class" since last summer. Finally she is 3 and can take lessons. She is doing very well. It is very exciting. She follows her teachers directions and takes cues from the other kids. Amelia is the youngest, but not shy about showing what she can do.
