Good stories about what the kids did recently / parental bragging

How about a non-sports story?

Last night the high school orchestra had their annual concert. My daughter is a violinist, and she had a solo during a Vivaldi piece thay played. This was her first solo, and she was on a stage in front of a large auditorium.

I have heard her practicing lately, and there were some moments where I knew she made some notes that would have been embarassing in front of an audience. But last night she played it beautifully, and I was beaming as I proudly listened to her from behind the camcorder.

Its great seeing the pride that these posts seem to give off. Fatherhood is like nothing in the world.

On Monday night, my daughters Minors (6-8 year olds) softball team played their first game of the season. I'm the coach.

My daughter went 3/4 at the plate (three singles) and scored twice. She recorded three outs at third by force and one by tagging the runner on a fielders choice. She also played one inning of LF and although she never got to record an out, she made two great throws to the cut off at short. She played a pretty good game mentally, making the right decisions and throws.

We've got a good team. Its been fun working with them and they love playing.

My kid might be the finest vocal music teacher in the world. Might be a good soccer player too.

We're at the neighbors's house where he's playing with his friend and I start to pick him up and tell him it's time to go home. Well, as many 3-year-olds do, he started kicking his legs as if trying to run away. Pelé would have been proud. With one kick he made SOLID contact with 2 balls! Not only that, he instantly taught a grown man to sing soprano! Well, a soprano that rolls on the ground clutching their groin and moaning. I think the neighbors were impressed too, for they stood there wide eyed and mouths agape. All that and only 3 ... the kid is a prodigy!

I will also have to get in touch with our rugby Buckeyes as my two yardapes spend most of their time outside wrestling, knocking everything in their way down, and just pretty much running around like maniacs.

I am convinced my 4 year old is going to be a lawyer. He never stops asking questions and loves to argue everything.

My two year old, on the other hand, may have a future in the world's strongest men competitions. His older and bigger brother hopped in their little scooter car last night. His little brother decided to push him around the back yard. Now, the grass is longer than most (I do not cut it short) and it is extremely thick. He just pushed it and his brother around like they were nothing. I thought it was a good substitute for a sled.

Just so you guys know, those large rubber balls you always find at the end of every toy aisle in the grocery store are not for kicking or throwing. They are for holding, running at full speed and then jumping on the ground so you can see how high you will bounce off of it. It is times like those I am glad they do not make the old metal lawn jarts.

Sounds like my boys... two three year olds that wrestle on the kitchen table. First one off... loses. These two are indestructible.

If our four boys are ever in the same house, let's just hope the house belongs to someone we do not like. We went to the toy store today to pick up some toys for outside. We grabbed a soccer ball, net and some baseball stuff. The baseball stuff included two bats (one spongy and the other soft plastic), a tee, and a few wiffle balls.

I did not even have the tee on the ground before I was separating the two hooligans (or future felons as I like to call them) as they were hitting each other with the bats. Once they understood they were not to do that anymore they went for the nearest tree. Thank God it was a good sized maple.

No wonder my parents were so mellow after my brother and myself. And, no wonder I have so much gray hair at such a young age.

Yeah, they are my two kids. They were quietly lying down this evening watching some cartoons when my four year old starts screaming and comes running into the other room for me. He tells me his two year old brother has stuck a yogurt covered raisin in his (older brother) nose. I thought he was kidding as I could not see a thing except some white around the nostril. I flipped on a couple of lights, tossed him on my lap, leaned his head way back so I could get a good look. Yep, there was a raisin in there.

Little brother headed straight to his room for a timeout while I grabbed some tweezers. The 4 year old did not want me to try and get it out, but his mom, the nurse, was not home from work yet. I held his head down against my leg with one hand and used the other hand to work the tweezers and quickly pull the huge raisin out of his nose. He was immediately relieved.

I am a little brother and I know I tortured my older brother, but I am sure I never put a raisin in his nose.

That sounds like a good story to pull out when he has his first girlfriend over :lol:

I have officially been passed in the intelligence category by my six year old. I am not sure if I am glad or saddened by this fact. He and my wife were having a discussion recently about white blood cells and she said he understood what he was telling her (something about macrophashes - I'm sure I spelled it wrong).

Looks like I need to start reading some more. Anyone have a copy of Horton Hears a Who for me?
