All tournament softballer

 So proud of Lily being recognized as a member of the all tournament team this year. He had some great plays and so glad she was rewarded for her effort. She sure lives softball and competing. Love this girl and love her talents and motivation. 

My Tiny Baseballer

 We had one of many baseball tournaments today with Seth’s travel ball team. He and a lot of the others had a rough time. They didn’t win one game all day. It was tough. Seth struck out 4 times. It’s rare for him to strike out even once. He’s a good consistent hitter.  He got back up there every time and came and sat down every time. I think sometimes my kids’ disposition is misread on the field. They don’t cry or get mad. Most times Lily just smiles as she walks back to the dugout or throws a ball back to a pitcher. To some it may seem like they have no passion or care about the game. This is so wrong. They have amazing g self control and focus when it comes to sports. 

Today we got home and Seth was walking through hours after we got home.  I called him over and said, “hey, I was really proud of you out there today. You had a pretty bad day at the plate but I absolutely loved your attitude out there.”  He said thanks, then started to walk away, he turned back to me and hugged me tight. 

I have to remember even when they control those emotions... they need love, encouragement and acceptance. 

We are having so much fun in this stage of life!
