Hayden and Gracie both had their first games yesterday! It was such a beautiful day to spend at the ball field.
Hayden's game was first and her team had a great game. Hayden had two really good hits and she ended up having to hit off the T the last time, but that is okay. She had 4 or 5 run in off of her hits, which made her Coach happy! Hayden is such a good little player, sometimes I don't even think she realizes how good she is. She made some excellent throws from 3rd base to 1st base and she almost got an out at 2nd base. She didn't realize she had to tag the runner instead of getting to the base first. That's okay though, now she knows. It isn't something that they have been practicing. They WON 18-7 and they were so excited! I have to admit I had so much fun watching them play! Thanks to Mimi, Pop, Kim, Artie, Grandmama and Linda for helping watch Gracie and Colton so I could do my dug out Mom duties! I so appreciate it!!!
We all went to eat pizza after Hayden's game, since we were waiting for Gracie's game to start. Gracie was getting a little nervous, but I kept telling her she would have fun! After lunch we were back at the ball field ready to go.
Gracie's team is the Giants. They don't keep score in T Ball...basically all the team hits and runs bases and then they swap up. That's okay because I think that is the perfect speed for Gracie at this point. Gracie looked as if she was going to cry in the dug out, but I kept making her get ready. Once she got up to hit, she was fine and she ran those bases like a champ. When she came back in, I was ready and waiting for high fives and telling her how so very proud I am of her. That is a really big deal for her. She also got a little action in the field, thanks to the nice coach that told her what to do. It made me feel so good for someone to try to teach her what the purpose was. The second time she hit, it was a really good hit or at least that is what I was told. I was trying to put a helmet on one of the other kids and missed it, but I didn't tell her that. I was ready and waiting again when she came back in and this time she was all smiles and excited. I am so, so happy she liked it and had fun! I have to admit I was a little worried, I never know what she is going to do but she is just like Hayden she always surprises me and conquers those fears! I love my girls so much and I truly am so very proud of them. Thanks again to all of our wonderful family for helping watch Coltona and Hayden while I stayed in the dug out with my baby girl!
Good Job Girls! Mommy and Daddy love you to the Moon and Back! Remember always aim high and reach for those stars babies!!!
