Ok, so practice last night, I had all my players in the outfield and Coach Brian was hitting grounders and pop flys while I was working with the players defensively. Accidentally, he hits a line drive right at Isaiah. He sees it coming and try's to twist out of the way. Not reacting quickly enough BAM, hits him in the right shoulder. Can you believe it, two practices in a row. I talked to his dad this morning and he's fine, a little sore, but fine.
Matthew has discovered that he LOVES playing catcher. He didn't want to bat, he didn't want to field, he just wanted to play catcher the whole time. He even caught the ball a few times, I was very impressed and pleased with his performance. The first time he actually caught the ball, he quickly looked to the ground to see where the ball was, then he realized it was in his mit. You woulda thought he hit a grand slam by the smile on his face. He also took a couple hard shots, but shook them off like a ball player.
I was telling Sharlene last night how proud of him I am. Unlike last season, he is listening to me and doing what I ask. I think / hope he's finally able to differentiate between Daddy and Coach. When he caught that first ball and looked at me, I was Daddy. He's growing up so fast and turning into a little man.
