Shane had baseball practice on Saturday. Amazingly, the kids are looking more like an actual team! They (mostly) stayed around their positions when a ball was hit instead of forming a dog pile on the ball.
I yelled for the kids to take a silly pic to fill some dead time.
It killed 30 seconds while the head coach drove his truck around (it had the tees and bats in the back).
There were fewer kids, so it was an easier practice to manage (That's probably because it was over 90 degrees F out).
Most of the kids got a chance to try and hit a live ball!
I had been saving these pictures to segue into how much better the team looked at their game Monday.
However, there were thunderstorms and the game was cancelled 10 minutes before the start time.
Shane went to Taekwando instead.
The storm must have scared off some parents, because there were fewer kids. Fewer kids means less dead time. Less dead time means Shane does better and he earned a red stripe.
Instructor Papa still talked to him about "looking at the action." Shane looks in the mirror while he spars, he looks over at me whenever he's corrected or complimented, and he watches the other kids as he runs next to them instead of looking ahead. 'Mind focus' is something he's got to work on!
Long term, I hope that these different activities will be fun and help with the focus.
Short term, I knew I had to get Shane out of the house or he'd drive me crazy!
