My 5 year old niece is trying her hand at t-ball. She is the opposite of the 7 year old. The 7 year old inherited her parent's athleticism. The 5 year old loves dance, dress-up, girly stuff.

So my brother had to try not to laugh when he explained to her she was wearing her "uniform" to practice, not her "outfit."

I have to add on to this. My brother reports that little miss thing is actually very good at t-ball, probably the best on the team (not just proud daddy...he was first team All-Ohio pitcher in HS so he knows of what he speaks) AND she got mostly 98 and 99 percentiles on the last standardized test.

Girl just keeps amazing me more and more. Plus, she's funny!
