Proud Mommy!

Today was the kids' first baseball game and since you have already read how the game went from Team Mom POV, here's the proud mommy point of view.

I am so proud of my kids!!  Noah, aged 4 and one of the youngest played catcher and probably worked harder than anyone on the field today!  The team we played against pitched 8 balls to pretty much every kid and poor Noah had to catch/chase every ball and throw it back to the other team's coach.  O-M-G!  Poor kid.  He's going to sleep well tonight.

Dannika, aged 6 played left field and short stop.  I was worried about how the game would go because she didn't eat a good lunch nor take a nap, but she did awesome. No fear, she made some great defensive stops and moved around the field with amazing instincts--going to the ball, covering her team mates and showing amazing anticipation.

This is exciting for all of us because they are 4th generation baseball players on my side and 3rd generation on the hubby's side. My grandma Castora and her sister Nancy were an amazing pitcher/catcher duo coached by my Grandpa Suero.  Growing up, I watched my dad play in his Mountain Ball league and my Mom play in her women's softball league.  Both my husband and I grew up playing baseball and softball coached by our own parents.  This is truly chicken skin.
