As I mentioned earlier this week, Amelia can sing the ABC song. It’s tough to get a video of her doing it because she always wants to “see” the screen. However, I managed to capture her singing part of the song with me using iPhone’s Voice Memos feature.
Also, I recently downloaded the Hipstamatic app for the iPhone and Amelia likes taking photos with it. This is one she took while we were on our way to Oka Park Beach. Not bad for a 20-month old, huh? (most of the photos I take using the app are blurry just like hers).
I played my first ultimate game on Tuesday night. I brought Clara to the game and she was an angel. She slept through the first half and then was happy to be passed from player to player on the sideline while I was on the field during the second half. And then when we got home she slept for almost 7 hours (from about 9 pm to 4 am). It was great to play, even though I am out of shape and haven’t thrown a disc since last fall. Good preparation for the Jazz Fest tournament, which is coming up more quickly than I would like.
When I was younger I always thought I would stop playing ultimate once I had kids. I didn’t want to be the woman on the sidelines breastfeeding her kid in between points. Why? I’m not sure what my reasoning was but I think I was worried about having to split my focus between the game and my kids. I’m still not sure I’m going to be able to handle it well enough to play competitive ultimate. But I would like the girls to be able to see us play the sport to which we devoted more than 10 years. So, if all goes well at the tournament next weekend it is likely I’ll be playing at Nationals this August.
