Tyler did awesome at his last baseball game today(Saturday). The last practice he didn't have a good practice...he was frustrated with himself and a player's comments upset him. We talked about how we can turn a hurtful comment into something positive or a goal to strive for and Tyler seemed to understand how to focus and work harder. Today he was on fire on the field and at bat. One inning Tyler was playing 3rd base and made 2 outs and then at bat, Tyler hit a double and made about 3 RBIs. I could see how his confidence shot way up and his coaches were shouting encouragement and praises throughout the game. After the game, we had our pizza party at Shakeys with the usual trophy and certificate. Each kid received their certificate which emphasized their strengths ie. most improved, most coachable etc. Tyler received Hardest Hitter so he was pretty thrilled about it. I think this year I'll put him in a league to see how he does. Tyler loves to bat but we'll work on his other skills to try and make him a better overall player.
Soccer starts tomorrow so we'll be switching sports but at least he gets to wear the same cleats. At baseball, they suggest that parents buys soccer cleats for baseball since we can use them for both sports but baseball cleats can not be used for soccer. Some metal piece is a safety issue so there you go.
** Update: Hector reminded me that Tyler made the final out of the season! Go Cubs! (that was their team name)
