first at-bat

 First game of the winter ball season last Sunday.  Davin did great.  It is all new.  He is enjoying his new path.  That's all that matters.

and the reminders don't get any more clear than this:

1 down and 9 to go.  go mariners.

smarty pants.

We are so proud of our 600-scoring mathematician.  Davin received an award at our district office on Monday night to celebrate his third grade state testing accomplishment.  I am still in awe.  Such a smarty.

What was the original violation you might want to know?  Not much really... a little chatty was all.  This is just a good old fashioned dose of nipping it in the bud.
