After we went to Phan
tom we came home and quickly changed and then hopped on the trolley to go to the Padres game. I did take my book, Breaking Dawn with me this time. I tried to read on the trolley but as more and more people got on to go see the game I started to get a little claustrophobic and between that and the movement of the trolley I was getting a little sick. Eventually I had to put the book down. I love this pic of Anita, Angie and Emma. I swear Coca cola should be paying me for this bit of free advertising. Anyway I thought about reading more at the game but I love watching baseball in person. There is nothing like the crack of the ball against a bat or the slap of a ball hitting a mitt. I love the double plays and home runs (even though there were none) and all the cheering that goes on. The best thing about this game however was Emma. Almost the whole time we were sitting there she kept asking me all about the game. Why does this guy do this and how come this guy couldn't
do that. When there was this really cool double play between third and first I was telling her about it and showing her on the field where it all happened and she made me the proudest mommy ever. She said, "Wow that guy had to throw the ball really far!" Oh I love how she immediately picked up on how hard it is to make a double play from third to first and I love how into baseball she has become. I wanted my daughter love sports like I do but I wanted her to love girly things too. I feel like I was mostly a tom boy growing up and that I had kind of a hard time when it came time to go into young women's fitting in. I don't feel so much like a tom boy now. I understand now the difference and know that there are so many things that one can be interested in without having to be a "tom boy". There are a lot of girly things that I love to do now but I wonder sometimes if I would have had an easier time with certain people (even family members) if I had been a little more girly. It doesn't matter now because now I know who I am and I am proud of the woman I have become. I hope that I can help Emma to understand those things about herself and feel as confidant in herself as I do about her. Isn't that the challenge ever parent faces? Well anyway the Padres lost that night. I was a little dissapointed because I have never been to a Padres game when they have won. It would have been nice to see. We went through four different pitchers that night and that might have been the problem. Oh well another day maybe. There is a game during the day that is coming up that I want to take Emma to. I think it is half price for a daytime game and I think she and I would have a blast. Maybe they will win that one. Anyone want to go with me. I haven't talked it over with Brent but I think we are going to ride the trolley down. if you wanted to take your kid and go with me that would be fun. Let me know. I think it is the end of August some time so not too far away!
