Diamond disappointment

I have never been so proud of Jason as I was tonight.

Of course, he's 7. I do hope to share more proud moments in the years to come.

First of all, the last two months have been a whirlwind of baseball, baseball and more baseball.

Over breakfast this morning, the boys learned that Jason did not make the 7-year-old All-Star Team.

He didn't really understand. And we don't, either.

But the boy took it all in stride.

And tonight, at his first playoff game, Jason won the game ball. He hit at least two doubles, threw out seven people and generally rocked it!




One more thing. Michael chimed in on the day's events. Before the game, as we were discussing the situation, Michael told Jason he thought this could be an opportunity for Jason to get better. What 5-year-old says that??? We certainly don't think, at the age of 7, his baseball career is over!!!

Jason still doesn't understand why he isn't on the other team, but, in the meantime, we're so excited he's giving it his all right now.

If this is what happens at the age of 7, I'm not sure I can handle what happens when 8 rolls around.
