Brody is playing baseball this summer for the first time. Although Colby says Brody has a natural ability for sports, he also unfortunately has inherited from me the inability to be a good sport. He hates to lose so much that he doesn't even want to play. Yep, that's me. However, he has gotten past a lot of his mental obstacles and is turning out to be quite the little baseballer. At his very first at bat ever in a baseball game, he hit the first pitch thrown to him and got to first base.
His second at bat was also successful, but a quick little first baseman beat him to the base and got him out. Brody wasn't upset, though, which made me really happy. Soren, Evelyn, and Dade were just excited to visit the concession stand, and Colby and our friend Jon (whose son Justin is on Brody's team) yelled at the boys while they played.
Here's to a successful and character-building summer of baseball, kid.
