Cardinals Baseball - Go Team!

This baseball season started out tricky.

Rain, Rain. Rain. RAIN!

But finally, we were able to PLAY BALL!

This year is soo different than years' past...

I still see him as this teeny tiny, 3 year old little home run hitter!

It honest to God feels like last summer to me...and they were just teeny peanuts!

And why won't my videos embed in this blog post instead of having to go to the old ones to view??

But we've come a long long ways, even from last season - 

This season, we have umpires.

Two boys in blue!

ACK!

And it's one, two, three strikes you're out at this old ballgame!

Those are tough lessons to learn when you are only 7 ~ 

But hey, not everyone gets a medal, and I get that, and I applaud that!!!

He's learning ~ 

he's concentrating...

And most of all - he's having fun.

This dogpile right here?

What you can't see - is D's Dad, my husband, underneath the group.

He's the head coach this year, and if this doesn't scream 

GREAT JOB COACH!

Then I don't know what does.

These are 7 & 8 year old boys...

At this stage in the game, it needs to be all about having fun!

It's about building friendships.

And finding confidence as you go along your way ~ 

Some days, you've just got it!

And maybe other days, you don't.

But we don't give up.

We get back out there, and we go down swinging if we have to.

We're finding our groove(s) ~ 

And we're having fun and along the way we're building memories that will last a lifetime.

What is summer without a baseball season?

Nothing, for this little guy!
