Saturday Merik finally had his first t-ball game. He got a hit on his first swing! After running to first base he turned around started heading back to home plate to hit again because that's what they do in practice. Oops! Next he was in left field and of course nothing came out that way. He still did a pretty good job staying in position. I only saw him sit down and put his glove over his face a few times. It was all pretty cute!
On the way home from the game he said, "Mom, this is my best day ever!" I'm not sure which he loved more - the game or getting snacks and a drink after?!
I almost forgot the best thing of all. Merik's team is the Rangers or as most of the boys yell after huddle "Goooooo Power Rangers"!
In honor of Spring time they have been learning about bugs for a few weeks. Of course Merik LOVES it. What little boy wouldn't? His class worked together on this "Mosaic Bee" and the honey comb. Also the picture on the bottom left is Merik's self portrait from the second day of class. I wish I had thought to take a picture of his more recent self portrait hanging on the other side of the bee. I'm proud to say there is a little improvement! 
More bugs! 
Do you think he is proud of himself?! 
We made the mistake of stopping for cookies and brownies before we were on our way out the door. Let the silliness begin!
These last two were also class projects. His teachers are, as the kids say, "The Long Miss Kathy" and "The Short Miss Kathy". The class is made up of 12 4 year olds. I had to take Merik in a little late the other day and as we walked in the front door his class was passing by on their way to music. They all stopped and started yelling "Yeah Merik is here!" He felt pretty special and ran off with them before I could say goodbye. One little girl always tells her mom stories about "the cute boy" in class. I think he is well liked!
