Two Big Firsts for Chase

Chase started his first official sport, blastball! It's like tee-ball with one base that makes a honking noise when the kids jump on it. When the kids are fielding ground balls they have to yell "blast". There are no outs and no one keeps score. Chase has been asking to play sports for a long time now! I mean, this kids first official word was "ball"! Now, before I tell you how Chase did, let me say that we had to sign a waiver so he could play up a year. Instead of two and three year olds, Chase is playing with four year olds as well because the league did not have enough of one or the other. So, that being said, my son's attention span lasted about a whopping 10 minutes! We had our first team practice and Chase hit the ball, ran to the base, jumped on it a couple times to hear it honk and seemed to like it! Unfortunately, when the other boys hit, the older boys were able to get to the ball before Chase and I could tell he was losing interest quickly. He started making his way to the slides and swing set with Cory chasing him or was obsessed with the orange cone. Yes, that was my child, the one short of picking flowers! Fabulous! The other big thing that happened for Chase is he started his first day at his new school on Tuesday. As a mom, you are always apprehensive on how change will effect your kids especially at such a young age and Chase has never really liked change. Well, apparently HE changed lol! As we were walking him up to his new classroom, he noticed the slides and playground and started saying, "I want to tell daddy bye bye see ya later, I want to tell mommy bye bye see you later and I'm going to play in that!" pointing over to the playground. We handed him over to the teachers and he happily said goodbye to us and never looked back. I didn't know whether I should be sad or happy that he's so independent?! Its a little bittersweet but I know if he screamed I would leave feeling awful! So far so good!!
