Blake's baseball team had their second game on Saturday. After the first, Blake was feeling kind of discouraged. He's playing right field, and doesn't like it out there. These kids are very advanced compared to the last team he played on, and Blake doesn't feel his skills match the others. We talked to him about how important it is to not only stick with it, but do his best at least until the end on this season. Saturday, he got the boost he needed when he caught a pop fly. I think he surprised himself, and he was thrilled that other kids were acknowledging it. Unfortunately, my little man's play wasn't enough to help the team that day. They suffered a loss of 6-2. As we were leaving, Sam asked Blake if he felt different about baseball now. With a big grin Blake responded "Oh ya".
*UPDATE* Blake was awarded the game ball in recognition of his great catch!
