Let's Play Ball . . . maybe

Nathan is in his first year of regular Little League and Benjamin is doing Coach Pitch baseball. I love that they are so excited for it.

Nathan had 2 days of skills clinics near the end of April, followed by several practice games. Those went well and he was so excited to start playing for real. Then the rain started and has had a hard time stopping! Yesterday -- about 3 weeks later -- Nathan actually got to play. It was supposed to be game #6 of the official season, and yet it was the first!


Nathan did not see a lot of action in the field, and only got to bat once in the game. I thought I'd hear complaining about it. But his team, the Twins, won the game and so Nathan was happy as could be! He's already dreaming about moving on to the state championship! After a sad week with the Pinewood Derby and with not being chosen in the school's drawing for prizes, it's great to see him so excited and looking at the positive!

Benjamin plays on different days than Nathan and has been lucky so far that he's played his games. I will have to remember to take a camera and get his picture soon.
