Lily was so good on the 1 hour and 45 minute car ride up, during the double header, going out to dinner, and on the 1 hour and 45 minute car ride home. Sometimes when I sit back and think that Lily is not even 5 I'm even more amazed at how easy going she is!
I should also mention that not only was Lily a great sport...she was also ravenously hungry. Lily ate the entire ride up...all during both games...at the restaurant...and on the way home. Seriously. The. Entire. Time. You would not believe me if I told you how much she ate.
Speaking of good sports, Paul is a very gifted player. Personally, I believe one of his biggest gifts is humility.
On Saturday, Paul hit a bases loaded RBI to win the first game. He was excited (as he had every right to be!), but not the least bit arrogant. Paul is confident without being cocky. It's a delightful combination!
Another delightful combination is Lily, Katie, and Paul! As I've mentioned a million times before, Lily is crazy about Katie and Paul...and the feeling is mutual. It is so, so fun for me to see the 3 of them together!
Paul has been on Lily's mind quite a bit since Saturday. Lily is now referring to the number 9 as, "the number on Paul's jersey." As in..."1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, the number on Paul's jersey, 10." No, I'm not kidding.
The other morning while I was drying my hair I asked Lily if she could tell me what time it was. Lily went in the other room, looked at the digital clock, came back and said, "It's the number on Paul's jersey, then a 1 and a 3."
I know Lily is really looking forward to Katie and Number 9 coming home for the summer. So am I!
