Thomas and Hunter are watching the State Championship hosted by Rocky Mount at the sports Complex. Hunter's team had the opportunity to play in but didn't do well in Rolesville. Therefore, He is watching and not playing.
Boy have we played some baseball this summer. Hunter was tapped to represent Rocky Mount on the American League ALL STARS!!! He was so excited and has had a wonderful time. As a parent the experience has been much different.
We have played in 100 degree weather every other weekend and those poor kids practiced every day in the hottest part of the day. We played in tournaments in Oxford, Smithfield and Rolesville. We didn't do very well at any of them and I think the heat got to all of us.
Hunter did a great job considering the circumstances he was dealing with. He has learned a lot about Sportsmanship, Graciousness and Humility this season. He even played in a game where we lost so badly that he never stepped up to bat. He was placed at the bottom of the line up and only 11 of the 12 players got a chance to hit the ball. Thomas and I were furious but Hunter truly surprised me! He took it all in stride like it was nothing. He was really ok with it. I can't tell you what his reaction meant to me. Just when I needed a reminder of the proper way to behave when something doesn't go my way. Leave it to my little man to do something so out of character and remind us all how we should behave. He never ceases to surprise me. I am so proud of him.
