Today we finally, successfully had our 1st Tball practice. Our team is a little on the late side to say the least. Seems other teams have had 3 or 4 practices all ready. Usually for us, the weather doesn't cooperate.
Mateo is predictable, just like with soccer and basketball, he was resistant. Didn't want to go. Excited somedays, whined about it other days. He was excited to buy his cleats. But not so excited to put them on for practice. So after our 1st 2 practices were cancelled. We had a practice to go to.
I knew if he fell asleep for a nap, practice would be a nightmare since I would have to wake him up to go. Well guess what. He fell asleep. So yup, total disaster! The kids were out on the field, a little rain to make it fun and Mateo wanted NO part of it! Great! So off to home we went.
But as history usually repeats itself, I wasn't going to let him decide if he wanted to play without actually getting out on the field. So we talked about it and it was a go. And guess what, avoided a nap.
We decided to go to the park early and play catch and he was getting excited. Coaches show up and my little guy is right up there throwing the ball, with a smile on his face. About 20 min in, ask the other kids are showing up, He yells "mommy this is fun, I want to do this again on Wednesday" given it was Wednesday, lol. He never whined, never said he was tired and kept a smile on his face the whole time. Made for a very happy mommy.
He got his uniform, so little and cute as can be. And lucky us, we are the "Giants". I'm hoping picture day and the next practice go just as well! So so proud of my little guy!!
