Niko’s Journal

We got to go see all of Munsie’s babies again today, and they sure have grown since last week!

We were not allowed to pick them up last time, because they were too small but this time Mrs. Janie let us pet them, and even hold one for a minute. I liked this little baby girl. Oh, and I redrew my mouse face on today cause’ I like it!

There were also the same puppies that I got to hold last week there, and I got to play with all of them for a long time. This one is my favorite.

Today Mommy, DeDe, Ty and me made a new flower garden in our front yard. I was a great helper, and did alot of digging, and pulling out grass.

After we got done digging all the dirt up, Mommy let me plant my own flowers! This was a fun day

It was really yukky out so we did not get to practice today, but we went to meet Coach Darryl and get my uniform! I am #6 and I love it!

See my cool shirt!

Coach Darryl and me

Today at my school, we were all supposed to dress up as our favorite nursery rhyme character. I had alot to choose from, but I decided that I wanted to be the mouse that runs up the clock in “Hickory Dickory Dock”.

Aren’t I a cute mouse?

Today was my very first practice on my new baseball team, The East Ridge Rock Hounds! Boy did I have a great time! First Coach Darryl had me and my team mates do some running, and then we had to practice catching the ball that was hit on the ground.

Then I got to practice swinging at a Hit-N-Stick (which made my arms tired but I did real good). Next it was my turn to bat!

Coach Darryl showed me how to stand, and Coach Jack pitched to me. I hit my first four pitches, and Coach Jack was proud of me. I had fun hitting the ball!

Here are the pictures from my first day!

Whoo Hoo!

D just called uncle Darryl today (who is a baseball coach), and said I wanted to play ball! Well, they need some five year olds to play, and welcomed me to the team!

My first practice is tomorrow! I am SO excited!

We went to Mrs. Bryson’s house today to see Munsie and the babies, and I got to play with a few puppies from some other doggies - isn’t he cute?
