Thomas had his 2nd T ball game this morning. Before we headed over to the field we went and picked him up a baseball back pack and a bat. He was struggling at practice on Wednesday night because most of the other kids had their own bat and were not wanting to share. Mike was out of town so it took me awhile to see that he wasn’t batting and when I asked what was going on that is what he told me. When we finally found a bat he could use he batted one time and then practice was over. Anyway, we solved that problem as he was a great listener during the week and he got rewarded with a special new bat. We also gave him a pep talk about how he needed to be able to share that bat with other kiddos because that is the nice thing to do, he wasn’t too excited about that but hesitantly agreed.
T started out the game with a great hit and “RBI.” His second hit was also fantastic, according to this proud Mama! When he was fielding he also had a great play where a ground ball was hit to him on the pitching mound and he scooped it up and threw to first…what a great play! Mike even had a smile and said “wow that was a legitimate play by the little guy.”
After he had his second at bat he ran over and told Mike and I that he had also shared his bat! We were so proud of him, because we knew this bat was new and very special. At the end of the game when the coach was talking to the kiddos he announced that Thomas was the “MVP” of the game and gave him the game ball! What a special honor and treat for the little guy and his proud parents, not only because he had a great game individually, but because he was sharing and being a great teammate as well! We are so proud of you little buddy!
