Movie Night - Finding Nemo
At Anna's request, last night we watched Finding Nemo. Anna's developed a new habit, when a "scary" part of the movie comes on she hides under the kitchen table.
We all enjoyed watching it -I had forgotten how good it really is. As much as I enjoyed the new Cars movie I don't think it can hold a candle to Finding Nemo. Interestingly, as a parent, I'm starting to really be able to identify with Marlin. When Nora and I first saw the movie we didn't have children, and I watched it from a completely different perspective.
Anna fell asleep on the way home from her Grandparents, so Nora put her down for a nap and Pierce and I went to his t-ball practice (usually we go as a family). I help out pretty much every practice and really enjoy it. The kids are so funny -there are a few who "get it", the rest are more concerned about picking flowers and playing in the dirt.
Pierce is getting marginally better at paying attention, but still spends more time looking up at the sky. His throwing skills are really improving (unless he decides to throw "side-arm" -then its anyone's guess where the ball will go). Batting seems to be a hit or miss proposition (no pun intended). Some of his swings, and hits, are beautiful. Other times you'd swear he'd never held a bat before.
One of his teammates, Geric, is a "natural" with lots practice with his Dad. Geric loves to slide into bases. He was manning first base and slid into it everytime a player hit the ball off the T. Outfielders almost hit him in the head with the ball every time they threw it to him.
