Big Day for the Taylor House

What a day! We have had very busy weeks lately, with me filling in at work again and all of the kids STILL being sick with allergy. BUT, today was different. I finally had an off day (I have been working including Saturday's) a lot. So I decided that Allee would wear big girl panties all day, no matter what. AND SHE DID! She did not have on single accident. We even had to travel to Fayette for Aiden's first Baseball game. We were getting ready to go and I had a pull up laid out to put on her. She started crying and said, "No, I'm not wearing that. I already have panties on." So against my better judgement, I let her travel in panites, with an extra suit with me. She saw me packing the shorts and questioned me by saying, "Why you putting those in the bag? I already got shorts on." So off we go.

Aiden's first Game: Picture this....Rick coaches, so he's getting coolers, bags, balls, bats...out of truck; Aiden fell asleep on the way; Evan on my hip with a runny nose; Allee in the front of the stroller; sleeping Aiden with ball uniform and all, in the back; Mommy pushing stroller with one hand and holding Evan with other! We look like the Brady Bunch walking in! One of the Mom's came to my rescue and got Evan until we settled in, then NaNa and Pop rescued him. I spent most of the time back and forth to the bathroom with Allee, and Aiden had to rely on Coach Dad to help him out. Of course, his first at bat, he was on deck and declared he needed to potty (even though that was suppose to be taken care of earlier), but he waited! They were all so cute. He hit the ball well every time, but got a little sided tracked in the out field. Our team actually had a pile up in the field. Looked good if it had been a football game instead. But we did well for our first game and most importantly, the kids had a blast! Thanks to everyone who made game number 1 a hit!

Tomorrow - I get to go on a quest for "Fire Star" panties! (Spiderman's sidekick...) Don't think I am going to have any luck, but for the day we had, it's worth a try!
