Well.... hell.

William loves baseball. I promised him this year I'd be on time getting him signed up in a league so he could play. I remembered that signups were late Jan-early Feb this year, so I started looking today.

As I did, two things occurred to me. First, Evidently every little league team in Seattle's got a website EXCEPT for the one for the area we live in. And boundaries are strictly enforced, so there's no going a little bit south or west to join up with them. Two, the boys' birth certificates are missing in action, which means until we get copies, I can't sign Will up without one, and I can't get one here in time -- I was going to order new copies after I got paid, but I won't be paid until after the sign-up period is over. Given that the birth certificates were not in my care when they were lost, I am a bit annoyed right now.

Why on Earth do you need a birth cert to sign up for Little League?

Because Little League is competitive and wants to ensure that only kids in the same age bracket compete against one another.

Talk to them and tell them you need to order a new copy. Perhaps they can let you enroll, so long as you can get the real one to them before they have a real game.

Also, maybe you can get a copy of it from the school or your doctor, or some other place that you had to show it previously. That may at least buy you some time.

I had similar excitement getting one for Stone from Seattle to register him for school, and then one for myself from Florida to get my CA driver's license.
