push harder, push.....1......2......3.....4.......5.........6.....7..8..9..10, now breathe. Almost there, keep pushing, keep pushing, we see the head, shoulders...one more time PUSH~! ahhhhhhhhhh, relief.
Does the same always apply? from the moment that they are brought into this world and for the rest of their life, do we push? Or do we wait for them to walk out of the birth canal on their own? Cut their own embilical chord?
Sister has asked us to sign her up for T-ball......exciting right? our little princess, playing sports? The first thing we thought..How will we ever get her out of a dress? Well with a pink bat, glove, ball, bag, and
cleets, it worked. She will retire her dresses (only for a couple hours on saturday) and play ball. Or so we all thought.
She is four, the earliest the league will take them..no better time to start her out right? learning with all the other four year old girls, how fun!!! NOPE, not so much.
TWO practices, TWO!! before our first game, this past saturday. She choked, completely shut down, wouldnt go out on the field for her turn at bat. Coach yelled out "is she gonna come out or what?"
Mommy's initial thought....you son of a b@#*$!! Have some sympathy, she is scared, and intimidated since about 4 adults to every child was sitting in the bleachers cheering the team on. Did i forget to mention, Sister is only one of TWO four year olds on the team...the other, coaches grandaughter. Yeah, sure, of course SHE isnt scared, Mommy (assistant coach) and grand pappy are out there on the field with her.
She has agreed to go again this weekend, secon game....no pratices in between. What a load of crap. How is she supposed to enjoy this? Do i push her out there, or let her walk out on her own. I know once she does it she will be just fine.

what to do......
My darling little man can not stay away from a 104 fever for more than three weeks.
i can almost mark the calendar expecting the next "episode" to occur.
For the past 4 months or so, we have visited the urgent care or their ped doc. Everytime a throat culture is taken and comes back negative. Got a referral to ENT doc, (ears, nose, throat) "yes, he has large tonsils, could be causing the reoccuring throat infections, they should probably be removed"
(sigh) put my son under the knife? it does not matter how routine, or "out patient" this procedure is....just that you want to take a scalpel to my sons throat.
I dont trust a baby sitter to watch my kids so we can have date night....and you want me to trust you with a knife at his throat????? AND i can not be there?
Obvously i say no.....not going to do it, how will he recover? kid barely eats anything when he is feeling well, now will i nourish him when he is in pain, and dont even get me started on pain medication.
When he is good, he is really good. but that every three - four weeks....its REALLY BAD.
i fear that we are just seconds from our 104 to become 105.....scary!!!
