Being Seven

Hayden is all about being seven. He just is sure this means he is more grown up. We are so excited for him especially because he is so excited. He was so pooped last night, he went to sleep watching a movie and then slept until 8:15 this morning which for him is huge. :-)

He and I went swimming this morning. He was going to go off the high dive because he is now officially 7 and that is the rule. When we got to the pool, he decided "well it's not so hight but Dad is not here to videotape so maybe I'll just wait another time." This was just fine with me. We swam for about two hours. Of course, we both got a bit sunburned. Ooops

After we came home and got all the chlorine washed off, it was off to the tennis courts. Hayden wanted to go so off I went with him and whew, he ran me ragged. It is great exercise playing with him because you never ever know where the ball is going to go.

Was that all for the day? Heavens no! He wanted Daddy to take him to the batting cages so they went but the cages were closed. Hayden managed to talk Daddy into going out in 100 degree heat to play catch and hit some balls at the park. You would think this child would have been ready to call it quits but not our Hayden.

He played in his room until we went to hang out with Katy for a little while as she packs to go back to Michigan. He was so sad on the way home. He is going to miss her terribly. We don't even talk about how much he is going to miss the guys when the Travs season is over. Yikes!

The big news for him today was that Daddy signed him up for Maumelle Fall Ball. It will start up in September so we are looking forward to that.

I have no photos of all our adventures today. I will just leave you with some from yesterday.
