The Cast is Off and Daddy Coach

The cast is off and Priya couldn't be happier about it. She's a little tender but is enjoying walking around without a weight on her foot. Let the good times roll now. Their best friends love to go to Airborne. There's a new one in The District. I told the girls we'd go once Priya's leg is feeling better and they're pretty stoked about it.
I can't figure out dinner with these girls. Mostly Priya. I will make something and it is a hit and the next night she won't eat any of it. It makes no sense. Last night I made french toast. The last time I made french toast they didn't really like it. This time they both at the whole thing. I also made BBQ pork this week. Last time I made it Priya loved it. This time she would hardly eat any of it. These girls haven't gained any weight in like 5 years. They're both still at their birth weight. Mirinda is 33 pounds. I need her to gain 7 more pounds so we can stop using these stupid car seats. I get that they're safe and necessary. The problem is these kids never stop moving. Whatever food I do give them gets burned off like tissue paper in a fire. This is a good thing that they're active and love to do stuff. All I'm asking is for 7 pounds right now and then she can wait another 5 years to gain more weight. I wonder if I put a 7 pound weighted vest on her. Would that work? I'm afraid to Google it.
I rode in the back of a hatchback Honda Civic when I was a kid. There was a bill in the legislature in Utah to require kids to be in a car seat until they were 12 years old. Seriously? At 12 years old I was 6 feet tall and had a full beard. I always hate when the legislature starts meeting because we have the worst bills come up for a vote and then it becomes national news. It's always some hick legislature who had a buddy who had a problem once and now we have to have some ridiculous legislation around this one problem their buddy had.
Since getting Mirinda and Priya I've noticed how good of a throwing arm both of them have. They have great aim and can throw a ball a long way. I've thought about putting them in tee-ball for a while. Last year Priya was having her hip surgery and I didn't know how bad it was going to be so I was worried about putting Mirinda in and not giving her the attention she needed for it, and worried that Priya would be upset that she couldn't play. So I decided to wait a year. This year I showed them a couple of YouTube videos about tee-ball and asked them if they wanted to play. They both were enthusiastic about it so I signed them up. They're going to be on the same team which is easier and better. Mirinda is so small some of the younger kids on the team are going to be bigger then she is.
I came home to tell them I signed them up and they asked who was going to teach them. I told them I play baseball and would teach them and they would have a coach to teach them as well. There's an episode of Peppa Pig where her dad comes to teach the class basketball and Peppa calls him Daddy Coach. The girls asked if I could be Daddy Coach. I said sure I'd volunteer. I figured I'd be an assistant coach and it would be a lot of fun to do that with the girls. I emailed the head guy to let him know I'm interested. He immediately responded and said, "Great! I'll put you down as the head coach of the tee-ball team for the 3-5 year olds." So I'm the head coach now. The girls are super excited. I've been going to YouTube to find drills for a tee-ball team. It will be interesting. If anyone has any Valium let me know. Or whiskey.
I'm super excited this week because the podcast is going to be on the Radio Ronin network. If you don't know what Radio Ronin is, it's a podcast network started by Jimmy Chunga. He was on 107.5 The End and 101.9 The End back in the day. I have been a fan of his for 20 years and one of my dreams has always been to work with him in some way. When he said yes we could be on the network we were at Cold Stone. I'm pretty sure I jumped up on the table and reenacted the bar scene from PeeWee's Big Adventure. If you haven't listened to Radio Ronin it's a really funny podcast. They talk about everything. And now you can listen to us on there. Or you can in a few weeks.
As always thanks for reading!
