Opening day of Dexter Little League was today. Sadly, it was cold, windy, rainy and just down right miserable. But, there we were supporting our dearest Dirtbag! Nate "made" a t-ball team and somehow got lucky enough to get on the coolest team ever. The coach had the opportunity to choose from any college baseball team name and apparently he couldn't resist the Long Beach State Dirtbags. This is no misnomer, I tell you. During the parade this morning, the parents of the team were all wondering if we should have gone with the clowns or hooligans because our kids were bonkers! As all of the other teams dressed in their uniforms organized into neat lines and stood quietly with their coaches holding banners that displayed their team name and team pride, our team ran amok and got filthy dirty. We were proud though and had the loudest cheering section! And, not only is Nate on the coolest team. He has the great responsibility of wearing one of the coolest jersey numbers too. He's #1! We will not believe the gibberish that it has anything to do with being the youngest on the team or having his name be at the beginning of the alphabet. He's #1! He hit well. Got a little distracted in the outfield today and was caught playing in the dirt and practicing his swinging, but otherwise a great start for the season. And, even though they technically don't keep score...we totally smoked the Redbirds!

Are you kidding me?! Dirtbags? That's awesome. And I am now officially in love with Dexter for being cool with it.
