I often think Mr. A has way more patience when it comes to playing games with Sam. I am pretty bad when it comes to playtime. I'm not sure why. I am however good at playing the mommy role. What I mean by that is bath time, feeding, putting her to sleep, etc... Mr. A isn't the best when it comes to those things (I am so in trouble when he reads this), well, maybe the feeding.

Only catch, we had to take Sami. They were giving the backpack to kids 12 and under which meant we had to take her. I was nervous and excited and expected to stay 2 innings minimal. My child is awesome and all that good stuff but she is also hyper and likes to run around like any kid her age.  All day we were prepping Sami telling her we were going to a baseball game. She seemed pretty excited even though she had no idea what baseball was. We get there and were all stok...
