So, T-ball continued this month and started out a little tough for Grace. She does not like to be embarrassed or focused on, so even though she LOVED hitting and running bases, she would be so disappointed if she didn't get the ball in time in the outfield. So, typically, when the other team hit the ball, kids from other areas of the field would run to it, even if it was going to Grace. Well, she is not one to dogpile and scramble for the ball, so she would let someone else get it but then be embarrassed that she didn't get it. Poor thing! As this month went on, we had some tears and some happy moments. She really liked playing, but sometimes just needed Mommy. Also, thankfully, the coach allowed parents to be out on the field with the kids, so this month, I was on the field during every game with her. Sometimes, Stacey (Ellie's mom) would try this to get her a little less attached and needing me, but it was a tough month for her. But, here are some highlights and a few low lights from the month anyways!
These girls practiced every Wednesday night: Ellie, Dani, & Grace
We had a weeknight game (for one that was cancelled due to weather previously) and got some in action shots. We went through a phase of excitement; then a phase of tears because something happened (dust in her eyes and hurt her leg when kids scrambled on her at the base), and then back to happy Grace by the end. It's just tough being so sweet and sensitive!
