Today, Peyton had her first softball practice. We had piano as usual, then I had to rush to get gas, in the opposite direction of home, but I was counting miles. I was at 10. And coasting everywhere. So we went home, changed really quickly, then headed out. Brandon had warmed up rice, and he took that to the field to eat. He was grumptastic because he was being rushed and wanted his afternoon snack. He kept it together and ate on the field, while Peyton and I found the coach with his girls setting up the field. Peyton grabbed a base, while I grabbed a base and a tee. We walked over to help set up. Peyton answered the coach’s questions when asked (easy ones, Peyton, Kindergarten, Yes [Do you know Carley?], Mrs. Manundo), which was progress to her selective mutism. I introduced myself to the Coach’s wife, and then we met up with another coach and his daughter. I started throwing with Peyton, but since I didn’t have a glove, I had her soft toss it back to me. She stopped after awhile because more kids started showing up. She even said, “I’m all done,” and then threw her glove down. She went over to the other girls and started doing cartwheels. Finally, practice started. I left her to go get the water bottle in the car, and I wanted to see what she’d do. They were warming the kids up by a “jog” through the field. As we were walking away, I caught a bit of it. I didn’t know if she’d do it, but here she is!

Brandon and I came back, and then Dave came to get Brandon to take him to practice. I was able to chat more with the moms. Natalie brought Sydney, and she was all decked out in new gear. It was color neutral so that Drew can use it when he’s of age. Sydney was happy to see Peyton, and when the girls all introduced each other, Sydney said, “I know Peyton!” I’m so glad Peyton has friends on the team, and she was integrating well. She was in the first group to bat. She watched the first girl, then got herself suited up. She volunteered to be second by just walking up to the plate. The coach set up the ball on the tee, and Peyton hit the base of the tee, but still hit the ball. Later, she hit a solid shot, and then proceeded to hit 6 more balls. The coach asked her, “You look like you’ve done this before, have you?” Peyton gave him one authoritative, slow nod. She happily picked up the balls, then she got behind the cage to mess around with Carley, who’d batted first. Later, she went off to throw, and I was less concerned with her safety by that point. The coaches are too busy instructing, and the parents too busy talking to watch the girls with the bats. Luckily, I have no other kids to watch, but I’m a bit hesitant to have to talk to other kids whose parents are sitting right there, even though they aren’t doing anything. It’s a touchy place to be, especially so early in the season. After practice, Peyton wanted to go watch Brandon’s practice. Luckily we did, as they were scrimmaging Tom’s team. On the way over, she told me, “Well, that was a better practice.” I asked her, “Than what?” She said, “Last year, practices were on Thursdays. And today is Thursday. You know, I didn’t listen as well last year. But I am now.” I commended her for a good practice today. I’m still so sad to miss her first game! We got there right as Brandon was up. Here’s what we saw…

We got home late, but good thing Brandon had done most of his homework at piano. They ate dinner quickly, and Peyton went up first to take a bath. When I got her to bed, she didn’t hesitate, said, “Good night” and was out. Brandon was still eating more, and then went to take a bath, too. Phew…late night for them.

This morning, Dave took Peyton to practice her hitting and fielding. That meant I had Brandon to myself to practice for his audition on Wednesday. He was telling me how some parents will watch toward the end of class, so I told him to go earlier, so they weren’t around. He said, “What’s the difference? Eventually, people are going to see me on stage anyway, so I don’t care when I go.” Wow! No stage fright?! I didn’t introduce what it was, in case he doesn’t have/get it. So, I told him I’d work with him for an hour. He was okay with that and studied his script. Then, we looked at videos from back in the day, and found the specific version he’d be doing. Other kids were singing, so it was easier to follow along with the timing. The last test was to sing on his own with just the soundtrack. We worked on putting it all together, and then he did a few dry runs, from his actual introduction then leading into the song. He has to give his name, a few facts about himself, (he chose, “I am on two basketball teams, and I like to read for fun!”) and then introduce his song. He did all of that, and after a few times, it worked! The hour was up, and we headed on foot to where Dave had last texted. It was the field at the neighboring middle school, not the kids’, so we had to walk in a different direction. Brandon was in shorts, and admittedly, he was cold! That made him put a little more spring in his step, and he was okay to run with me for a little bit. I told him he had to practice for his triathlon, and he didn’t mind. About a mile in, I checked my phone, and my plea to wait for us was answered with, “We left already.” Oops, so I told Brandon the bad news after a mile or so in. We only had a few more blocks to our destination, but we turned right back around. I’d been carrying around cash to deposit in the ATM from our cookie sales, so I wanted to go with Dave. But since plans changed, I was walking back that way, and asked Dave to come from the grocery store to the bank, where I’d be. By the time we got to the bank, we’d walked 2 miles, and in a faster time than I do with my coworker, including stopping at the lights, which we don’t have to do at work.

Great workout! Brandon and I arrived and started the deposit when Dave pulled up. Perfect timing! I’d actually thought he was another customer, and was worried about our safety, but when I saw it was him, I was able to continue depositing all the bills. I had a bunch of small bills that I didn’t want in my wallet, but it was kind of silly to deposit so many of them, with the sum being not that big. After that, we headed home. Dave left with Brandon for the birthday party, while I took Peyton to the library. She was there to get her sticker for reaching 850 books. Only 150 to go before she goes to first grade! We got a refill of books, and some for Brandon, too, then turned around and came home. I got Peyton a quick lunch, and she told me she wasn’t tired. So, she got started on her reading after she was done eating. I waited to see how long that would last, and she kept plugging away. After awhile, I practiced piano with her, then we decided to head out to Brandon’s practice. She hadn’t really walked today, so it was a good chance to do so. She whined a bit until she asked if we could listen to the radio. She was happy to hear all the princess songs that came up, and we made it without any trouble. We waited about 30 minutes, but we got to see a few hits.
Good thing Peyton didn’t get injured in the making of this video. She was climbing around, and I ignored her while I was shooting this. After we helped Dave clean up their stuff, we all headed home and actually had a vegan meal tonight! Maybe my challenge is affecting Dave after all 🙂 He cooked tofu, broccoli, and cauliflower, while I supplemented with the soup/stew I made in the slow cooker last night. Peyton didn’t like it; Brandon loved it, and while I didn’t think Dave would like it (no salt), he dipped a spoon into my bowl and said he didn’t think it was too bad. (translation: he likes, he just doesn’t want to tell me “yum” 😉 That’s what I tell myself anyway.)
