"Me" time. Everybody needs it.
Ally Ridenour, 18 months, came to that understanding during her sister's softball game at the Lakewood Ranch sports fields recently.
While big sis was hopefully rounding the bases a few yards away, Ally was taking a moment.
Not for anything specific, really. It was just time to sit on the ground with her baby doll.
Cheers and whoops from the field rang out as she sat in the gravel, parents watching close by.
Ally's mom smiled, no doubt hoping for her own 'me' time in the near future.
But for now, it was Ally time.
