Jillian is so funny about softball. She loves to tell people that she plays and that her team "wins" every game. But in reality she loves the snack that comes after the game and digging in the dirt during the game. She really has no idea what's going on around her and unless the ball comes right at her and disrupts her digging she won't go after the ball.
The coach has everyone play every position and when it was Jillian's turn to catch it was hilarious. She stood at home plate and refused to move. When the ball was thrown home she would watch it roll by her and then point to the coach for her to pick it up. The coach would hand it to Jillian and then she'd put it back on the tee. When I asked her why she made her coach pick up all the balls she said, "It was so heavy with all the stuff on me so I didn't want to move." Since then she flat out tells the coach, "No!" when he tries to have her catch during the game.
She does like hitting and running the bases though. She says, "I run like thunder because I'm super fast." It really is so comical to watch her games.

That is so funny.
We will have to come and see her play in a game.
I know that Nicole thinks she is the best player ever. She has talked about watching her none stop.
Oh. Wow. I freakin love that little princess!
She so hilarious... Sounds much like Emma attempting soccer this spring. One of the kids' parents forgot that it was their turn for treats, so the kids didn't get treats at the end of the game and one of the girls says, "You mean we played for nothing?" It was so funny. Emma however did better this season then last; as where last year she would plop herself down and pick the grass, this year she actually ran after the ball. I told her if she made a goal I'd get her an ice cream cone (thinking absolutely impossible). Not quite, they were all set up on the other teams goal and the ball came right to her and she kicks it in the goal....the other teams goal that is. I had to laugh at her as she turned immediately towards me with her hands up to her mouth wide and grinning and then pointed at the ball in the goal yelling so everyone could hear, "Look mom, i get an ice cream cone." I guess I didn't specify WHICH goal to kick it in. I would love to come and watch Jills play, tha twould be so much fun. When r u moving out here again? ;) lol..
That is some serious protection on that girl! Bella doesn't get nearly that much when she's catcher. Hmmm... Your kids are so cute and funny. I love reading your blog.
