Between Practice Practice

This has been a very wet spring. Almost every practice has been rained out, which makes it really difficult to prepare for the coming season. The league has a prepared practice-field schedule, so if it rains on your scheduled time, you can’t just postpone practice to the next day. Davey and Benji need to practice, so today we bundled up after school and headed to the diamond. We’ve done this several times, and the boys really enjoy it when Daddy hits the ball and “runs” to first base. They LOVE getting me out! And, they really rub it in. Forget that I’m hitting the ball directly to them. Forget that I’m walking to base at a brisk pace and slowing down for close plays to give them the out. My boys LOVE to “bust my chops” with every out they make. If it motivates them and improves their game, bust away!
