Danny and I kicked off Danny’s baseball career this morning. Cobb county had just been in the news for the long overnight lines that had formed for the limited youth baseball positions.
So Danny and I set out at 9am for Stone Mountain village to get in line for the 10am registration. Three other people were there already. I don’t think they had camped out.
Danny is excited. He was fitted for a uniform that he won’t get until just before the first game.
Oddly enough, he seems most excited about selling his share of raffle tickets.
We got back early enough for the second half of O.M. Kathy was able to get the first scene of “The Grocer’s Daughter” completed. Danny is going to be the stage manager and understudy. He has already come up with a good idea. We will paint grocery store scenes on one side of our background, and turn them around for the next scene in Good Food Land.
It is sunny and warm enough for Kelly to have her first play time on the grass. She propped herself up on her tummy, pulling at the grass, collecting pine needles, and rustling a nearby leaf. Something is emerging around the mailbox. Kathy thinks they are daffodils, which were not there last year when we moved in, so I can’t figure out where they would come from.
One of the greatest challenges was to figure out the length of cardboard that would be used to support the main mirror. I knew the diameter of the tube was exactly 3″ and that the angle had to be 45°. Seems like sine or cosine would help. After a lot of doodling, the formula x = 3″ ÷ sine(45) would give the correct length. Worked perfectly.
Kelly is officially mobile. Laying on her back, she lifts her feet and grabs her toes. She has learned that by doing this, she turns into a ball and rolls over on her side. Once on her side, she lifts one leg up and her head which turns her over on her stomach. She can then continue in the same direction by tumbling over on her back (which she has been able to do for some time.)
