First Tournament!

I should have posted this several weekends ago but I have been busy and really I have the hardest time blogging. I’m no writer that is for sure and when I read other people blog I just think how eloquently they write. But this is not for everyone else. This is for me and my kids so I need to be better.

All that being said here is a post on Jayci’s first softball tournament. It was March 17th and 18th.

Here she is at practice…She is actually pretty good at hitting the ball.

Of course K man LOVES softball. Although he doesn’t hang out in the stroller much he is much too mobile for that now.

Now onto the tournament!

Well okay a little dancing and booty shaking before the game…

Such concentration and ready to bat!

Team chant after the first game…

Let me stop right here and tell a little about the tournament. This was the first time most of the girls even stepped on a softball field. That being said you can imagine how all of these games went. We lost the first 2 games really bad. The third game the other team actually forfeited. So that actually led to us being in the Championship game. Which of course, we lost. But we still ended up getting 2nd place. So the girls were so very excited with their medals.

2nd Place!!

I have to say I was a nervous wreck the whole weekend. Jayci struggles really bad with some social anxiety. If it is new and different she takes a while to adjust. She does great at practice but when it came game time it was a whole different story. She cried every single game. She was so nervous. She didn’t like the other team, people in the stands, the coaches yelling. I was so sad for her but stayed strong and made her play. I don’t know if that is wrong or right. But we have spent a lot of money on everything. Plus, I dealt with the same issues growing up and my parents would always pull me from whatever it was. I do not want to do that to her. I want her to stick with stuff and hopefully help her overcome her fears and anxiety. However, I pray I do not scar her for life. HA!

Either way she was so excited about the medal that it made up for all of it.
