This spring we had Caleb and Micah playing baseball through the YMCA. This being Caleb's second year he was "all knowing" when it came to the drill of practices and the games. Micah on the other hand was not so sure of the concept. He was really excited to play, but he is not so sure of uncertain situations and gets a bit shy. The boys and I had been in MN and had missed the first practice. Micah was all nervous about having to play a game without knowing anyone. Anyway, we got him to his first game and he goes out into the field and does fine. He comes up to bat and hits the ball and begins running the bases. He gets all the way to second and yells out to Adam and myself, "Hey, Daddy! I'm not shy anymore!" Then we go to the second game and Micah goes up to the coach and asks him, "Are you the same coach I had last time?" The coach responds, "Yes, and are you the same Micah?" Micah in turn responds, "Yes, don't you see my red hair?"
What a hit baseball has been. It was crazy going to two different games with Adam going with one to one field while I ran with the other to another field. But the boys really enjoyed it and we have had some great opportunities to interact with many people in our community. Needless to say, we are very glad it is over for now.
