It is Spring Little League Season! What a great time of year. We have just finished WEEKS of baseball. Day after day we have been sitting at the ballpark. We have been cheering for Kyle and Isaac 4 nights a week!
Isaac likes baseball. He has lots of fun. His team was in last place for most of the season. He never gave it a second thought! His team is darling and they all had a lot of fun! And.....although they WERE in last place for a while....they made it to the semi-finals! They lost at the semi-finals but they played really well!
HOWEVER.....Kyle's team is currently UNDEFEATED! Which one would think would make Kyle sooooo happy. NOOOOOO! Kyle is on a team with some VERY talented boys. Kyle spends a lot of time on the bench! NO FUN! So for a while - HE POUTED! But.....then he decided that was not doing much good. SOOOOO.....a few phone calls later - and he was off to a personal training session with Grandpa to the batting cages! Hour after hour they have spent at the batting cage. (It is costing me a fortune - but I'm not complaining!) Kyle has now totally changed the way he bats and has started hitting. Then I had to break it to Kyle that he was not the fastest runner! NO POUTING this time! Instead I found Kyle running on my treadmill every morning at 6 a.m. DETERMINATION!!
So I have one boy learning to walk......
and one learning to run!
Next weekend is Kyle's semi-final game. Oh how I pray every day for him to get a big hit!
****I haven't forgotten*****I am grateful for my dad. For caring about Kyle enough to take hours off of work to stand in the heat at the batting cages to build his confidence.
