Tonight was Younger Boy's first baseball practice. He was REALLY reluctant to go. He was worried none of the other boys would like him and also that he wouldn't be good enough since he hasn't played baseball in a whole year.

I reassured him that it was all the other boys first practice, too. I also said, "I dare you not to make any friends on the team."

Older Boy asked Head Coach J if he could be the "student manager". He did SO WELL last night. He listened. He didn't get mad. He was a good example.

Younger Boy made a lot of friends. Two of them actually go to his school so he was excited about that.

The boys were still wound up THREE HOURS after practice was over. Hopefully the newness will wear off a little bit...SOON!!

Praises for AMAZING Christian men as coaches...Head Coach J, Assistant Coach T, and Assistant Coach J. Your rules for the boys are FANTASTIC!!
