Proud Moment for this MOM !!!
Posted: Wed May 20, 2009 10:12 am
My son Brandon is 10 1/2 and ROBPI !!! HE has never asked to play sports, but plays with the family and friends, but never organized, Until last fall when he sprung on me that he wanted to play Little League in Spring, I assured him he could, however, in the back of my head I was thinking it would pass, but it didn't !!!
So I sign him up and he gets awarded the spot at First Base. He hits leftie and throws rightie,(HIS BPI SIDE) he can hit rightie, but prefers leftie. He actually throws rather well can get the ball all the way across the field with ease.(He has also taught himself if he is out in the outfield that he can drop his glove and throw leftie, which is much better as far as distance.
Yesterday was his first game, I sit in the stands biting my nails, my husband is the Asst. Coach, for no other reason than I want him closer to the field, just in case he gets hurt and he can run out immediately and attend to him(It's the Worry Wart in ME !!!)
He made some awesome plays on First Base, an unassisted double play, dug some low throws out of the dirt and just looke good to me, however, I am him mom, so of course I thought that. So after the game the team was in the DUGOUT the parents were all gathered around and the couch was getting ready to award the game ball.
He handed Brandon the ball and told him that was because of the defense on First Base. I was so excited, but I cried. My little man did so well !!! And someone else saw it besides me !!! So for all the newbies out these, remember that with a little work and perserverance your child came become anything he wants to be. KEep your chins up, better days are coming !!!!
And then next week, the honor roll ceremony !!!
