Go Sluggers!

Well, Anna had her last tball game of her 1st season on the Sylvan Sluggers. She absolutely loved it, and I don't think she's realized that there aren't going to be anymore games. Here she is with her friend (and future classmate) Tyra before the last game.She actually got to field a ball for the first time at this game! She's tried at other games but the bigger kids would always beat her to the ball. This time the coach made sure the big kids knew it was Anna's turn, and she ran right up on the ball and threw it over to 1st. It's insane how proud I felt at that moment. It was great to see her little face light up as she realized she'd done it, and I love that she turned to wave at us when she heard us cheering.
After the game, in true kiddie sport fashion, everyone got medals. So glad she got a chance to play, and that she loved it so much.

I can't believe she's old enough to swing a bat and field a ball! It seems like just yesterday she sat in my lap at Buxton and propped her feet up on my keyboard....
