Christian had his first game Saturday. He did such a wonderful job, I am so proud of him. He played 2nd base, right field and catcher. He says to me, after playing catcher; "I feel like a robot with all that stuff on, it's cool!" - Catcher is his new favorite position.
The age group he's in is "Coach pitch" and they only get 4 balls thrown to them, then they are done. Christian went up to bat the first time and didn't hit the ball. He was a little bummed but I'm proud of his positive attitude and trying again. The second time up to bat, he hit the ball and eventually made it home. You should have seen the look on his face. What a huge smile he had crossing home plate. When he returned to the dug out he says, "mom aren't you proud of me?" I said "of course honey, I've very proud of you". He came over and asked if he could give me a hug. I was really shocked he asked, because lately it's been; "mom, stop it". He's at the age where he's starting to get a little embarrassed of his mom.
