Colby's first ball game was Tuesday. He was very excited. He got to play pitcher, which is a high action spot. He loved fielding the ball and did a fairly good job of throwing it to first. When it came to batting, he hit both times without the aid of the tee, but then got out at first. He was very bummed about that and the second time started crying. He could not understand how their team could walk the ball not throw it. Afterwards, he said that his feelings felt hurt when he got out. I'm with you buddy! He's got Vance's competitive spirit and my soft heart...not a good combination. He's already stragetizing(sp) on how to hit the ball softly so the other team has to run a long ways to get it and that gives him more time to get to first base. His next game is tonight in Edina and Bree is in St. Louis with Braylon and I have the board meeting, so it's all Jared and Vance...whew! Well see how it goes.

getting out, his good buddy Gavin is playing 1st base, that doesn't help

poor buddy...getting out twice would make me cry too. i'm glad he's choosing to strategize his way through it instead of giving up!
