This one is going to be super early and super short. I started my morning at 7:30, which was probably a poor choice on my part. N had a game at 10:45, so we had to be at the ball fields a little after 10:00, and I knew B and my mom would be coming not long after the game began.
I am so impressed with our U10 Giants. They've really come together as a team, and when they all show up, they really do well together. Only one of our players was unable to attend this game, but the rest of them were ready to go! N has essentially become the catcher for the team. Nobody else wants to do it. Well, one other kid has expressed interest, but he also loves to pitch, so N usually catches for the majority of the games. He loves it, and he's gotten really good at it. It's so awesome as a parent to see him grow and excel. All of these boys have really grown from the start of the season to present. I'm like a proud mama of all 10 of them!
When my mom and B showed up, the Giants were up 5-0, and they never looked back. I had to leave to take B to his game, but the final score was something like 12-3, and N and the pitcher had a conference on the pitcher's mound. Nothing was said, aside from "Dude, act like we're being serious. DON'T LAUGH!" but it intimidated the other team like nobody's business.
Meanwhile, in the U7 league, the majority of our players were afraid of the ball after last night's accident. My B kept jumping out of the batter's box each time the pitch came towards him. It was so frustrating, and I felt so bad for him. The coaches are seriously frustrated, too. I can't say I blame them. Maybe 7 year-olds should wear face guards too...
Now we're home, packing up for the Relay. I'm pretty sure I'm already exhausted and we haven't even gotten there yet.
