One nice thing about our Little League is that it really is inclusive of girls. Not that there are many still playing at the Triple A level (just one this year. There's one girl in the Little League Majors too. And that good catcher we saw in the tournament in Sacamento.), but they're welcome and it's no big deal. Emmett's manager this year, Elliot, managed his two older daughters on their softball teams for years, and they're both on their JV team now.
That was one thing that annoyed me about what they were saying. At one point they mentioned that Little League was all about fathers and sons as it always has and always will be, with no mention of daughters playing little league now.
I hope he feels better soon.
Thanks, sj. He'll be fine. He's just tired from the middle of the night wakeup, and the barfing. I'm sure after a nap he'll be ready to bounce around again.
He basically food poisoned himself with an extremely poor choice of food combinations. Spoilerfont for the weak of stomach:
Diet Pepsi, Barqs root beer, Italian Sausage, cotton candy, large raspberry lemonade, french fries. I think it was the cotton candy, sour lemonade and the greasy food combo that did him in. That's just a lump of indigestibility. Funny thing is, I've denied him cotton candy for his entire life and just gave in at the game to celebrate the little league championship. Oh well. Now I've got another excuse to deny him cotton candy.
I should've monitored it better but was in a celebratory mood for last day of school plus championship team.
I know...if I didn't know about the years of work ahead of time, it would feel all overnight and shit. I have never gotten sick to my stomach in the daytime in my life, always between midnight and five.
Bummer about the party, but it seems to have worked out better for Zmayhem anyway.
Family-ma to you, Zenkitty. I hope you can come up with a workable solution.
That food combo is giving me a stomach ache, and I didn't even eat it.

You can't always watch everything, and it is probably better that he learns to monitor himself sooner rather than later anyway.
{{{Zenkitty}}} Memory issues are so difficult for everyone. Tons of ~ma to your family.

This is the second or third time I've let him loose in a party type situation and he's made himelf sick. Carnivals and birthday parties - danger!
We just cancelled. Fortunately his friend has another summery get-together on July 2nd, so they'll be able to hangout and have fun at the water park.
Hec, when I was pregnant with Owen, we went to a street fair in DH's hometown, I think I managed to eat a taco potato, two shish kabobs, an apple dumpling, a taco salad, a chocolate coated fruit kabob, a lemon shake up, an elephant ear and a carmel apple before I finally lost it all. No cotton candy, though.
Some people never learn that self-restraint.
This one will definitely feature "almost got shagged" somewhere.
definitely en fuego!
