What a season already! Unlike the fall season, we have not had any rain-outs yet. This means that we have had a VERY manageable one or two games per week schedule. What a difference! Eli is loving his new team too; he seems to get along very well with all of the boys already. And coach has put him on the clay a few times: second base and short stop, specifically. Our game last weekend was one of those perfect spring days. We had sun, 60-degree weather, and great ball-playing by all of the kids. (Both teams got a grand slam.) I think we won in the end, but our coach was so awesome about taking the focus completely off of that. Some of the older boys on the team notice the score and told the coach a few times, "We are CRUSHING them...we're winning, Coach!" To which he reminded them that the score didn't matter; all that he was focused on was how great everyone was playing. Good stuff.
Eli usually gets out at first; combination of running slower and hitting it near the first baseman. At this game he almost made it to third once. He got a single, advanced to second, and got out at third, but just barely. He was so excited!
The coolest part for photography-minded me? The eye-black the kids wore due to the sun. LOVE IT!
