BASEBALL!!

Like track baseball season is in full swing (pun intended haha) They have had a few tourneys now and havent exactly had the best start to the season, but Kaden has been playing really well. He has had some amazing hits, he has had some doubles and even a couple triples, one that could have been a home run! Its been really fun watching him really come into his own in this sport. It is his favorite sport and while its not always my favorite to sit and watch in the heat, I really love watching this kid catch pop flys, dive for a catch, pitch really well and hit some bombs out to left field!
This weekend they played up in Greeley, the first day the weather was gorgeous (until the last hour) and Kaden was having some really good plays. He ended up unfortunately being the only one to score in their first game though. He had some good plays at 2nd base and when he covered at short stop he did really good there too!
It was really cool after the games were done to have a bunch of the parents tell me that Kaden was the only one who played that day. Even though we all want the boys to play well I always expect Kaden to do his best.
There were some arguments going on in the pit, and I feel bad for the boys, I think they are very frustrated with loosing and some of the coaching choices that have been happening but they need to not turn on each other and be supportive. After a big argument one of the moms came and told me how impressed with Kaden she was. While a few boys were aguing over who had to coach runners at 1st base Kaden stood up and said he would do it even though he was almost up to bat. I was really proud of him, and its always nice for other adults to point out how great your kid is!
At this weeks track meet I also had a teacher come up to me and tell me what a great kid Kaden is. This has happened quite a bit this year, every teacher Ive talked to has used 2 works GREAT and RESPECTFUL. Always makes me a proud mom!!
Now lets just hope the team can pull it together so we can get some wins this season!!!
