Friday Fun

Tomorrow is Buggy's first softball game. We are so excited about it. Well, kinda excited. It STARTS at 8 am...YIKES.

She has been practicing for the past couple of weeks. Usually our conversation before practice goes like this:

me: are you excited about practice tonight?
her: no I hate going.
me: hate is a pretty strong word, why do you not like going?
her: I don't know. It's hot out.
me: I know, what is up with this heat. It's suppose to be "fall ball" *giggle*

We get to practice and she gets right out there. I see her smiling, which of course, makes me smile. I see her batting, she's not half bad for this being her first time playing. I see the coach pull her aside and talk to her quietly. Then they move to the other side of the field.

What are they doing? I wonder.

PITCHING? They are showing her how to pitch? Oh my goodness, that is awesome. I am beaming. She is beaming, even though when they asked who would like to learn to pitch she was the ONLY one that didn't raise her hand. :)

Here is our conversation after practice.

me: wow honey you were doing great out there, I am so proud to see you trying your best.
her: uh huh.
me: did you like it? was it fun?
her: Yes, I liked it a lot.

These two conversations have taken place before and after every single practice she has had.

Here are some pictures...with my new camera I might add...the camera was on Auto which is a total cop out, but I am learning still. Go easy on me. :D
