Baseball Kids

Today, Peyton had her first softball practice. We had piano as usual, then I had to rush to get gas, in the opposite direction of home, but I was counting miles. I was at 10. And coasting everywhere. So we went home, changed really quickly, then headed out. Brandon had warmed up rice, and he took that to the field to eat. He was grumptastic because he was being rushed and wanted his afternoon snack. He kept it together and ate on the field, while Peyton and I found the coach with his girls setting up the field. Peyton grabbed a base, while I grabbed a base and a tee. We walked over to help set up. Peyton answered the coach’s questions when asked (easy ones, Peyton, Kindergarten, Yes [Do you know Carley?], Mrs. Manundo), which was progress to her selective mutism. I introduced myself to the Coach’s wife, and then we met up with another coach and his daughter. I started throwing with Peyton, but since I didn’t have a glove, I had her soft toss it back to me. She stopped after awhile because more kids started showing up. She even said, “I’m all done,” and then threw her glove down. She went over to the other girls and started doing cartwheels. Finally, practice started. I left her to go get the water bottle in the car, and I wanted to see what she’d do. They were warming the kids up by a “jog” through the field. As we were walking away, I caught a bit of it. I didn’t know if she’d do it, but here she is!

Brandon and I came back, and then Dave came to get Brandon to take him to practice. I was able to chat more with the moms. Natalie brought Sydney, and she was all decked out in new gear. It was color neutral so that Drew can use it when he’s of age. Sydney was happy to see Peyton, and when the girls all introduced each other, Sydney said, “I know Peyton!” I’m so glad Peyton has friends on the team, and she was integrating well. She was in the first group to bat. She watched the first girl, then got herself suited up. She volunteered to be second by just walking up to the plate. The coach set up the ball on the tee, and Peyton hit the base of the tee, but still hit the ball. Later, she hit a solid shot, and then proceeded to hit 6 more balls. The coach asked her, “You look like you’ve done this before, have you?” Peyton gave him one authoritative, slow nod. She happily picked up the balls, then she got behind the cage to mess around with Carley, who’d batted first. Later, she went off to throw, and I was less concerned with her safety by that point. The coaches are too busy instructing, and the parents too busy talking to watch the girls with the bats. Luckily, I have no other kids to watch, but I’m a bit hesitant to have to talk to other kids whose parents are sitting right there, even though they aren’t doing anything. It’s a touchy place to be, especially so early in the season. After practice, Peyton wanted to go watch Brandon’s practice. Luckily we did, as they were scrimmaging Tom’s team. On the way over, she told me, “Well, that was a better practice.” I asked her, “Than what?” She said, “Last year, practices were on Thursdays. And today is Thursday. You know, I didn’t listen as well last year. But I am now.” I commended her for a good practice today. I’m still so sad to miss her first game! We got there right as Brandon was up. Here’s what we saw…

We got home late, but good thing Brandon had done most of his homework at piano. They ate dinner quickly, and Peyton went up first to take a bath. When I got her to bed, she didn’t hesitate, said, “Good night” and was out. Brandon was still eating more, and then went to take a bath, too. Phew…late night for them.
