Brandon’s game with his own team was first at 930am. Peyton and I left at 915 am, and I hurried her to the park. We were there just as Brandon was up, since we were the visiting team. I had the ipad available for Peyton; the first time I’ve broken down since Dave busted it on when he was solo some time last year. I wanted to watch the game, and since we didn’t have a meal to cover, I did what I had to do. I ate my breakfast and coffee, and chatted with Coach from the stands, since we were sitting first row. At some point in the game, Coach Tom thought Peyton was gone! She was sitting in my shadow, since I wanted to shield her from the sun, and she was busy working on a puzzle on the ipad. I got her to do 49 pieces, to really keep her busy! She did about 3-4 of them at least during the game, along with the other games she has. By 11 am, as Brandon’s game was winding down, Peyton and Dave took off to their field. I headed over with Brandon to the Giants game which was starting just at 11 am. They had to wait for Brandon to be done before starting! I had to fight with Brandon about snack shack versus his commitment to the Giants. I knew it would be a problem due to the scheduling, and I’d warned him about it. At the time I’d warned him, he was fine with it, but when it was go time, he did just what I thought he would. I grabbed the ticket out of his hand, while he stormed off, crying, to the Giants team. Coach Tom got on his case, too, shooing him away! Since he wanted a donut, and they are limited supply for the morning games, I got him one while he was warming up. I watched him during the game, “coaching” him from the sidelines to make sure he was safe. He was playing first base, and I wanted to be sure he was an asset for the Giants. He did a good job at first base, making a few plays. He also batted well, getting a 2-run single. During the 4th inning, he was shifted to center field. Then, his attention span started to wane. I was trying to get him engaged, and the team mom acknowledged he was probably pretty tired. The next time he was in the dugout, he was sneaking around by his backpack, with his back to the stands. I sauntered over to him, since his back was turned, and I asked what he was doing. He spit out this giant wad of pink goop, with pink strings on his lips. I’d seen the pink wad on the pole, but I didn’t think anything of it at the time, other than it was gross, and I hoped it didn’t get ON Brandon’s bag. I didn’t know it BELONGED to him!!! I had him put it in the trash, and I just said, “One week.” He knew what I meant. I figured out that he had suckered his girl teammate into giving him some (such a sweet talker, literally!). Later, Dave and Peyton came over to watch the last part of the game. She was getting hungry, so I gave her some of the fruit I’d packed earlier. The Giants pulled out a victory the Cubs, Dave’s “nemesis” team. The Cubs’ coach was so mad, he made his team run laps after the game. The Giants coach awarded each player TWO snack shack tickets, but Brandon willingly gave them to me, knowing he was in big trouble. Dave told me he tried to sneak tic tacs from the twins at his game, so now he’s out two weeks. He really hasn’t learned his lesson that his parents are (still) smarter than him. Hopefully we will remain so…I don’t even know that he knew what to do with the gum, since it was just a solid wad in his mouth that he was sucking on. He even told me he was just sucking on it! After the games, Peyton got her snack – a snow cone. Then, we headed over to the Arts in the park. By the time we’d gotten to the park, she said she was done with her snow cone (even after telling me not to take too many bites when she was putting her shoes on). She’d only gotten the top off the cone, and hadn’t dug down below the top of the paper. I don’t know if Dave telling her that it’s not good for her, and that next time she should get a malt (since it has calcium) influenced her to be done with it or not, but either way, she didn’t finish her dessert.
We’d attended the arts in the park two years ago, when I took the kids alone with Peyton in a stroller. Brandon didn’t want to go, as of last night, and put up a little stink today, but I wanted to check it out. Jenni was going to be there promoting summer camps, and I wanted Peyton to experience it again since she’s older and can do more. Some of the activities have age limits, and it was a bit age inappropriate for her last time. We hit up a few booths, and the kids got to make a balloon drum, a carp kite, sand art, and a caterpillar pencil. As we walked away from the park, Brandon declared, “Wow, that was fun!” Glad to know he had fun, especially since he was the one that didn’t want to go. Dave wanted to take off as he had to go pick up his car (he didn’t want to walk back, even though we were closer since we were at the rec center), and he was meeting up with other team Coaches for a little camaraderie in the league. The organizer wanted all the coaches to get together, since they’re all going to be coaching each other’s kids at some point in our time in the league. We dropped him off to get his car, then we headed home to eat our In and Out burgers that we got. Brandon got a two patty burger, Peyton a regular hamburger, and me with protein style, so I could eat fries! Suddenly, pizza and beer were no appealing to me, so I didn’t care that Dave was going out without us. I got the kids in and showered up, and they’re playing Scrabble nicely while I blog. Since it’s so late (4pm), we’re going to forego naps, and hope for an early bedtime today. We’ll have to figure out what to do tomorrow, but hopefully it’s something without sun, since we were in it for a long time.
Here is Brandon’s first at-bat as a Giant, along with his picture in his Giants uniform (minus his blue belt!) . I was also able to get the audio of the opposite coach saying, “Big hitter, back up!” Dave thinks I love to hear this, but I know that HE loves hearing it more.

Sadly, I didn’t get to see Peyton’s game, but Dave said she did a good job at her game, listening much better today. T-ball just isn’t as exciting to watch as the “real” baseball is nowadays.
