Baseball Wednesday

Gman's game went well.  He was 3 for 3 with 2 rbi.  I think he is finally getting to hitting idea with a good little inside out swing.  He got himself set all three times.  Nice level swings with a good follow through.  He now needs to swing harder and remember to run and not watch the ball.  He is catching well also but still wants to step with his back foot on his throws.  I think this is because he is naturally left handed.  H does everything left handed but throwing a baseball.  He says it feels better this way.  He fields well with his left hand but short arms his right handed throws.  He steps with his right foot as well if he does not think about it first.  The nature is fighting with his learning. 

Elie's practice did not happen.  No message about a change or cancellation but only 2 players showed up.  He was not upset because they got to play on the playground.  It is very cool to watch him interact with other kids.  He is very rough but not a bully.  He helps the kids up after he runs them down.  When he gets knocked down he just gets back up as long as he does not think any adult is watching. 

Really short tonight. Everyone have a good week

Monday Thoughts

Went to basketball tonight for the first time in a few weeks.  My ankle held up fairly well just a little tight.  I am icing it now so hopefully it will be ok in the morning.  It was great to get back out and play.  Bradley stepped on one of my big toes.  You would thing that after 15 years they would not still hurt that bad.  I would never recommend to anyone breaking any toes but the big ones never heal.

Elie's game was very good.  Beth and I both stayed out of the dugout and he did fine.  Beth said she even saw him smile.  For a kid who says he loves baseball he sure gets upset when playing.  He hit the ball good both times and got on base.  Gman's practice is tomorrow and game is wednesday.  They both play on Saturday.  I am so glad they enjoy baseball.

Mom called yesterday and said she has Mike Miller Park in Draffenville for the Seaton family reunion on October 3.  I need to figure out how to set up an event on Facebook for it so the Family can see it.  Mom is really taking to being the setup person for the family reunions.  I am glad she is happy to do it but I wish we were close enough to help. 

Well short and sweet tonight
