kid pitch

Today was Henry’s first kid-pitch baseball game.  He pitched the first inning.  I was on edge.  He walked a couple of people and I was a nervous wreck.  I kept saying things like, “take your time”  “right to the glove” and “you can do it”  but inside I was dying.  I wanted him to be perfect, because everyone was watching.  WTF???   It was his first kid-pitch game ever!!!  And he had to pitch the first inning.  His age group is made up of 3rd and 4th graders and he is the youngest kid on the team!   perspective…  It’s a word for a reason!

So, after Henry got the 3rd out, (he struck the kid out) he came off the mound, through the dugout and straight to my LAP!  I asked him if he was ok, and he said, “yes."  I said, “wow, that must have made you nervous.”  And he said, "YES it did.”

I was so proud of him and I can’t wait until the next game.
