Jonathan's Baseball







Here are some more pix of Jonathan's baseball games. He has several each week, and we travel up to an hour away for most games. When the games start at 5:30 and last until around 8:00, it makes for loooong nights. But I must say, it is really fun to watch. The team has improved so much this season. They got to play in a tournament last weekend, which was fun for the boys. Jayden has made friends with othere siblings and always brings "Toodle" to the games. Jake has come to lots of games, but also has his own games to attend, so hasn't been to as many as Jayden. Jonathan still pitches and plays first base. His hitting has been in a slump pretty much all season long, so he gets frustrated with that, but overall he loves it. He gets to play all the time, which he loves- and of course makes it more fun for me to watch. I feel a little badly for the 3 kids who rotate being the bench warmers- because Jonathan has been there, done that- and it is sad to see as a parent. Jonathan has even said he wishes that his coach would sit him out every once in a while so that those other kids get more playing time. I guess those times on the bench, though frustrating, have taught him a certain amount of empathy. Only 3 or 4 more regular season games- and then All Stars.
