This was my conversation with Anna just now before she got in bed:

Anna: Where’s my Grover?
Me: Right here, but this is *my* Grover.
Anna: No it’s not.  We’re going to go to the store tomorrow to buy you a Grover.
Me: Oh we are?  What store are we going to?
Anna: The Galveston Store.
Me: Oh, the Galveston Store (of course!).  Who’s going to go with us to the Galveston Store?
Anna: Grandma, Daddy and Uncle Jimmy.
Me: What else are we going to buy at the Galveston Store?
Anna: Shovels.
Me: Aha.  What do we need shovels for?
Anna: Grandma and Daddy need to dig.
Me: They do?  What will they dig for?
Anna: For the buried treasure.  (Like, duh Mom.)
Me: I see.  What will they find in the buried treasure?
Anna: They’ll get gold coins and seashells…really pretty seashells.
Me: Well that sounds like a fun day….

Oh the things she comes up with…

In other news, I signed Anna up for t-ball today.  I know 3 seems a little young but our community’s recreation league has a 3-4 year old division so I stopped by sign-ups to ask about it and went ahead and signed her up.  And then because I’m me I immediately went out and bought her a cute pink glove that came with a purple and white soft baseball, a pink bat, a tee stand and two extra t-ball balls.  I couldn’t help it.

She and Dan flew back from Kansas City this afternoon (they were there for Dan’s grandmother’s funeral) and I gave her the ball and glove in the car and she fell in love with it instantly.  She kept it on for most of the drive home and was hugging on it in the car.  It was quite amusing..

(Sorry about the quality, I took it with my phone in the car.)

When we got home we let her try to hit the ball off the tee and she did surprisingly well.  I was impressed.  I think she has pretty good hand/eye coordination for a 3 year old.  We’ll try to teach her the basics of the game before it all starts in March.  I think she’ll have fun as long as she doesn’t get too bored standing out in the field or waiting for her turn to bat.  I know at this age the don’t keep score, which is good.  I think the games are fairly short and they make sure that every kid has a turn to bat.  Should be fun….maybe.
