I picked Brandon up from CDC today, and we headed straight to the field where Peyton was practicing. It was supposed to be black top practice, but the team must have migrated to the field. Peyton was doing fielding drills when we first got there. Brandon was reading next to me. Then, she moved over to the fielding station, where they were learning how to catch pop ups. She’d then fire back the ball to the coach. I had visions of him getting popped in the nose, but he’d back up a bit every time she threw it. He even said something to her, but I was too far away, so I didn’t hear it. I missed seeing her hit, but when we got home, she told me, “Coach G told me when I was hitting the ball at the end of the stick (skilz stick), ‘You have good eye hand coordination.'” I asked her, “You mean hand eye coordination?” She said, “Um, ya.” I told Dave that Peyton was firing it at the coach, and I was worried about injury. Dave said, “No wonder why the coach came up to me and told me, ‘Peyton has a really strong arm. First base man is going to have her work cut out for her.'” So that coach saw what I was seeing. I’m not sure if it’s a relative arm compared to teammates or if it’s really HER arm. I’m sad tomorrow as Brandon has a game right during Peyton’s game, and each game is their first. Peyton will miss her girl scout meeting tomorrow, and I will be late to the PTA meeting, but it’s all worth it to get to watch their games. Her bag is packed with her clothes and gear tomorrow. Dave complains so much more about Brandon’s mechanics than he does about Peyton. But Peyton isn’t as open to correcting mistakes when they do occur. She gets upset when she is corrected.
Like she needs to work on her accuracy:
and piano: using her hands for something else…she did this for her last piano party.
