We started off with a soccer filled Saturday watching Lil' Man's game where he scored his second goal of the season and warded off many shots from the other team as goalie. He's really grown as a player in a short time, and I'm loving watching him enjoy the sport!

Then on Sunday I had my first softball game of the season! It was a lot of fun to be out on the field again, but I definitely felt my age and added weight over the years since I last played. Hopefully I'll loosen up and get back in the groove before my short season is over!
During the game The Guy spent time explaining the rules of baseball to Lil' Man and Lil' Lady. They haven't been exposed much to the game and they both enjoyed watching. Afterward Lil' Man declared that he'd like to play next year and my heart soared! The Guy told him that if he's serious about playing we'd go by a Goodwill and find him a glove and bat. So that's exactly what we did!
We ended up playing for hours at a high school field and I was in heaven teaching both kids how to hit and field the ball. I'm so proud of how quickly they both picked it up! That night Lil' Man even asked if he could sleep with his new bat. How cute is that?!
How was your weekend? What did you do?
Fun! What position did you jump in on for your softball game? I only play slow pitch in the summer anymore but grew up on the diamond. I love that you're teaching the kiddos! I slept many nights with my bat & glove prepping mentally for a game the next day!
ReplyDeleteI played left field and catcher. I used to play fastpitch growing up, and this was my first experience with slowpitch. It's a lot different! I feel like I'm waiting forever for the ball to cross the plate. Lol!
DeleteHow fun!!! Sounds like your making quite a wonderful impression on the kiddos. ;-)
