a tie & three wins....go cubs

it is so fun to see the team working together, getting their bats on the ball and fielding the ball without too many "bill buckner" incidents.
xander is really improving. he is more confident in the field and is really doing well at short stop and the circle/pitcher positions.
after the game the other night i had several parents comment to me how well he seems to be doing, how impressed they are that he springs into action the instant the ball is hit, and how he really seems to love it. you know as a mom, it is always great validation to have other people thinking the same thing about your child that you are.
and you know that he loves it when he asks if he can throw the ball with you, after just practicing and then playing a game. parents were standing around talking, so instead he ended up playing catch with one of his teammates. they threw the ball for another 30 minutes, and most likely would have continued had it not been 9 at night.
time for bed, my little ball player!
