The DS? I have no recollection the exact moment when I first saw one. But, I probably saw a kid sitting on the sidelines playing with one at (a) basketball practice, (b) soccer practice, or (c) swim practice. Practice can be long and boring for a younger sibling.
My youngest started attending his sister’s sports practices when he was about 2 months old. I took him to t-ball practice on a rainy day in May ’03. He was a tiny baby — well actually he was a big baby, but compared to all the 5-year-old’s playing t-ball he was a munchkin.
I knew I would have to take him to practices, games, and activities, so I made sure that the stroller I purchased had very large wheels, a seat that reclined all the way back, and a snack tray for him and a coffee cup/water bottle tray for me. I. was. prepared. for. anything. when. I took. my. baby. to. a. sports. practice.
Stroller days are long gone now, but I still have to bring my son to volleyball practices and all-day tournaments. It would be cruel and unusual punishment to make him sit on the sidelines for hours. We usually watch a game then run an errand together. The Nintendo DS Lite
