If they said “run home”, he headed for the dugout. He kicked more dirt in the outfield than he caught balls, and when he did get the ball, he held onto it until the batter on the other team scored a home run. He balked at going to practice, wouldn’t stay in the dugout, pitched some really terrific fits, regularly left the field mid-game to come get a drink and try to sit with me, and was pretty much uncooperative. BUT…
He did eventually make it around all of the bases towards the end of the season. He was the RBI king. He once hit a double. He looked so stinkin’ cute in his tiny little uniform.
And getting a trophy for Most Improved Team? Well, that was just the coolest thing ever.
All I can say is thank goodness for really patient coaches.

I love reading your blog. I check it out all the time hoping for new posts!
I hope you don’t mind — I’ve been telling all my friends about your blog.
I printed 100 free business cards with my 10 favorite websites (yours was #1!!) and handed them out at our last Mommy Meet-up.
It made me wonder if you had ever done that for yourself? Do you ever meet anyone at a coffeeshop or a playground and start talking about blogging? Maybe you could print up some cards to hand out. Just an idea!
In return for inspiring me, I wanted to pass on these money saving tips to you:
— 100 Free business cards at http://www.RedTagPrintSale.com
In case you decide to get something else printed from them (besides the FREE business cards!) I also wanted to tell you about their unlimited use promo code – it never expires and you can use it again and again:
— 10% off promo code “RTPS10”
FYI: I’ve used this company to print fliers and signs for Church events and even yard sales. The quality is really good compared to what I’ve gotten from VistaPrint and others that offer FREE business cards.
I hope you have a great week. I’ll be checking back soon. Bye!
