Baseball season is over.....boo hoo hoo

Well, last night Kevin finished his first season at baseball. He has improved a lot these last few weeks, and we are so proud of him. He has had a blast playing and is looking forward to next year. He didn't get his award last night, which seemed to really bother him. The coaches were planning on handing out the medals at a Pizza/Swim party. We will be out of town that weekend, so he should get it in a few weeks. Of course, he saw the other team receive their trophies and was very upset. On the way home, he told me that I needed to get him a red shirt (the other teams colors), call him Junior and act like he was on the other team and didn't receive his trophy yet! The things this kid comes up with!!!

He had a good turnout for his last game.....11 fans in all! He had his own cheering section with Mamaw, Grandaddy, Granny, Papaw, Great Uncle Steve, Aunt Paula, Candace, neighbor Ruth, neighbor Gary, and of course Ken and I.

We still need to work on him sliding into home. He hasn't quite caught on how to slide. He kind of runs in, falls on the base and rolls over. I think he just likes getting dirty!

He loved posing for the camera. He certainly doesn't have a self confidence problem.

I was also proud to see him paying attention in the outfield and going after that ball. He still got a little bored and stood out there talking, but at least he wasn't playing in the dirt the whole time!

What's up next? Well, we have a busy summer planned, and he is wanting to play soccer in the fall. So, I guess for now we will just take it day by day. We still have lots to do, like picking blackberries & blueberries, our trip to Dollywood, and our latest adventure of trying to go out to eat and see a movie once a week. This is a big deal for us since we have to deal with the food allergies aspect. But last week, we went out to eat Chinese and see UP 3D. Kevin did great, and no trip to the ER....which is always wonderful! He's getting older and a lot better at watching what he touches. We still bring his own food, but at least we are getting out of this house and associating with the living. Wish us luck! (<:
