How do kids grow up so fast?

I was telling Willard the other day how cute he was when he was little, . . . he just looked at me.

I went to Bailey's first baseball game on Wednesday, she looked so cute all decked out in her new uniform, her hat pulled down so she could just see out, her hair in braids, that made her easy to pick out when she was out in the field. When it was her turn to bat none of us could take our eyes off of her, she even got a hit. It was so fun to watch a bunch of seven year olds play for the first time, I couldn't help but think of Trevor and Patrick playing ball when they were little. Trevor was so small he always got the number 2 jersey, which worked out nice with his initials being T.W.O. So after a while he picked the number 2 before anyone else could get it. One of the first games Patrick played in he rolled the ball to the first baseman after he figured out that the poor kid just couldn't catch it. We had a lot of fun made some friends and got a good tan too. Soccer, baseball, football, basketball, practices, games and fundraisers, then throw in a bunch of golf, ah.... those were the days, no wonder I was crazy, but somehow watching my grand daughter play, all I could do was wonder where the years went.

Ah, I remember watching my little brothers play t-ball, but I don't remember that story about rolling the ball..well...come to think of it I don't remember anything about "watching" them play. I think I was hanging out at the snack bar looking for cute boys :-)
