So...as of this afternoon baseball is officially OVER for the summer.
Both boys loved it. Older Boy had never played before and he is actually pretty good. His team finished the year at 13-1 (we think). Older Boy’s coaches were AMAZING. I explained at the first practice some of the behaviors they might see and some of the ways to work with him and they went WAY above and beyond. Older Boy made some good friends and learned to be a part of a team.
Younger Boy's team didn't fare quite as well. We know they won three. The first and last and one somewhere in the middle. Younger Boy’s coaches were GREAT. It was a group of godly men who had no connection to the team other than they knew me from church. They taught the boys about being respectful and how you don’t do things out of frustration in sports. Every time someone struck out and was “pouting” or “mad” in the dugout one of those men was there…coaching. They had Older Boy be the “student manager”. It turned into him practicing and filling in, because there were always people on vacation. They taught him a lot, too.
Both boys want to play again next year. I think it was really good for both of them and as much as I didn’t like being at baseball EVERY Thursday and Saturday. I would love for them to play again. It was a lot of GREAT life lessons.
Praises for a safe, fun baseball season and amazing coaches!
