And which base is that?

Abigail is playing softball this spring at Cecilia.  She is excited about the IDEA of playing softball, but the actual PLAYING is another story.  Abby has a hard time focusing on new concepts and softball is no different.  I realize that she is only 5 but she is having trouble remembering the name of the bases.  Tonight her coach was asking her where particular bases were located.  As Abby stood at home plate, ready to bat, the following conversation took place:
Coach Timmy: "Abby, which base is that?"
Abby: (With Enthusiasm) "FIRST!"
Coach Timmy: "Good, which base is that?
Abby: (With more enthusiasm) "SECOND!!"
Coach Timmy: "Great, which base is that?"
Abby: "THIRD!!!"
Coach Timmy:  "Great, where are you standing Abby?"
Abby:  (with the MOST enthusiasm yet) "RIGHT HERE!!!"
Needless to say, all the parents had to laugh at that one!!!  I loved softball and played from the time I was 5, all through high school on the school team, and even a couple of years of co-ed after graduation.  I was by NO means the star athelete on the field, but I still loved the sport.  I hope Abby will develop a love for it as well....but first we will have to learn the bases:)

Total side note, but this is a picture of Micah at Abby's practice on Tuesday night.  He loves to watch the girls play and is content to just observe!!!



Once he realized I was taking pictures, his personality really started showing!!!
