Mommy Brag

Moms View Message Board: Parenting Discussion: Archive January-June 2005: Mommy Brag

I am so happy for my son tonight. He had a baseball game against the best team in the league. It also happens to be the team that has many of his football teammates on it. Ds had his best game of the season. His team lost, but Alec was one of only two on his team to get a hit. Alec went two-for-two with two hard grounders to short. After his first hit, he managed to steal all the way around, including a close play at home. The best part was he did this in front of two of his football coaches-who had him on the bench most of football season. Don't get me wrong, they are great guys and they didn't keep him on the bench for hostile reasons. Alec is skinny compared to many of the other players and lacked experience and they truly feared for his safety. LOL. It meant so much for him to really get out there and perform in front of these guys. He was even given the game ball. His football pals and coaches were great after the game really congratulating him for those great hits. He is so happy right now.

ROFL Brandy. Peyton was deliriously tired falling down the stairs not once but twice. And Griffin was so wrapped up in going to the "snack shack". LOL. Pictures? Not this time. ;)

Oh, and one of the times she fell down the stairs, it was right into the mud puddle at the bottom. LOL.
