Game Ball!

Emily was given the game ball yesterday! It's given to a different team member each game, and yes I know that eventually she would have gotten the ball one way or another, but it's nice to have her awarded the ball based on performance instead of because they ran out of other kids to give it to! LOL!

She did great, she was focused and knew what was happening. She started off standing at the pitcher position, and actually caught a bounced line drive (is that an oxymoron) and threw it to first. She was so happy, she looked at me before throwing it. LOL a slight delay, but she got the point in the end. Her next great event was as a right fielder. The batter popped it out and she shot out her glove and attempted to catch a fly ball! It grazed the top of her glove, but that wasn't the point....the point was she anticipated the ball coming her way and attempted to get it! YAY Emily! For those that know my hard to stay focused child, this is a great accomplishment. What might come easily and naturally to others is a struggle for Em. GO EMILY!
