Brett catching!
Well another baseball seahas come and gone! We are in the midst of all stars, and of course, the crazies are out. I have learned this year that everyone believes their child is the best, and deserves to be on the allstar team. There is backbiting, nonsense, and just pure craziness!! I don't know what else to say about that!
My boys didn't have great teams this year, but they both played their hearts out. They have learned more about themselves this year, and less about baseball. They have wanted to quit, skip games, act sick, and the list goes on and on. But, they didn't...they both hung in there for the long haul. It has been very tough for the Morris House, but we learned that baseball isn't necessarily about winning. It's about teamwork, camaraderie, developing skills, respecting authority, hard work, and lastly having fun! I think it's very ironic that often the 'having fun' part is the last thing we adults think about! Even when Brett was losing by many, his team would be laughing, being silly, and trying to have a good time! That's really all they could do.
These boys are growing so quickly, and we have learned in our house to just enjoy the experience and hope to improve something at some level. Each day is truly a blessing with them! TJ and I both have learned to relax a bit this season. Now, not to say that we still don't anticipate the competition, and hope we will win a few all-star games! But, we have also learned to enjoy it more, fuss less, and relish in the moment!! Go South Putnam Little League Allstars!!!
Bring on football baby! (That's after allstar season, that is!)
