I'm sad because I took pictures on our nice camera of Sophia throughout her T-ball season, but I lost the camera card...AGAIN...ugh! So this is what I got...
Sophia made it through her first year of T-ball. I would say perfectly, but I would be LYING! She had great moments and break-down moments (which we expected). Once again she was the youngest on the team, but we wanted to get her in an organized sport so she got used to people cheering and doing things out of her comfort zone. Her first game was AMAZING. She hit, ran the bases, and was down and ready in the field, which blew TJ and I away, so we thought the rest of the games were in the bag. The next two games were the opposite. She would go up to bat and just stand there. TJ would have to escort her off. While TJ was extremely patient, I wanted to hang her by her toes. Family would come watch and she would do NOTHING and would cry! I finally had to play "bad guy" and told her that I wasn't going to let anyone come if she wasn't going to do anything. I almost told some family to go home during a game and that was a turning point for her. All of a sudden she started hitting (oh yah, she's our lefty hitter), running the bases, and being ready in the field. She even played catcher twice and all of this was with a smile!!! It was so much fun watching my daughter playing (weird to think I have a daughter old enough to play and that she was not on the side lines watching like usual). There were a couple games mixed in there where she was emotional and would cry because she did something that embarrassed her, but she would turn her attitude around and make it through the game and end it with a smile. Overall, she did it! She did something for the first time and stayed with it! Can't wait for next year:)
