Baseball
I love baseball. I love watching my boys play baseball. I especially love it when strangers come up to the fence of their games and start talking about my boys when they don't know who the parents of the kids are.
Don't get me wrong. I have had my fair share of people saying some harsh thing about my boys while in a game. I am real quick to let them know who that child's parent is just because of past experiences.
But they live, learn and grow with their experiences. Last night was full of mixed emotion.
Roo was catching for the 2nd time in his school game. We were all excited. Doug was at Bug's soccer game the 1st school game Roo caught in so last night was the 1st time (not recorded) that he saw him catch for the school.
He loves catching and has done it throughout his rec ball "career". The coaches for the school didn't allow him to catch for them last year because he was a lefty. I admit....you don't see many left handed catchers. But when the kid is good...does it matter what hand? Roo proved himself against the other catchers on the team and has been place on the roster to catch.
But then he squatted wrong towards the begging of the game and hurt his leg. True Roo fashion, he sucked it up and played. When he wasn't catching or batting, he was icing his knee. The coach pulled him at the ending of the game.
Even though he was catching hurt, he still had some rec league coaches come up to the fence after their practices were done to see the "left handed" catcher. Didn't hear any critics last night. It's moments like this that I'm so proud for Roo. I can sit back and listen to the talk with a smile on my face because they are praising my son not knowing his mother is sitting near them.
Being his mother, I think he hangs the moon. But knowing how much hard work he has put into a sport he loves and to have strangers notice it.....I like that feeling too.
The trainer looked at him this morning and thankfully his knee is fine. They are saying hamstring. He has light baseball duty the rest of the week which doesn't make him happy, along with some special exercises to help.

Roo Catching In School Game
Yes, he is a "lefty" catcher. Roo got to catch for the school. Little rusty after not catching for 2 years but we were still proud of him.

In Full Spring
WOW!!! Can we say busy? Weather is warming up and the boys sports are in full swing. We are always running to one field or another for a game or practice.
Roo is playing baseball again for the school this year. He has also be invited to play select ball. So the select ball covers our weekends now until the end of June.

Bug is 2 weeks away from finishing soccer. He has already started practicing with his baseball team.
Doug is coaching Bug's team

It is exhausting just thinking about all of it plus still have to work and keep the house in order. I love it and wouldn't trade all the running with them for anything.
