Elijah has had a wonderful 2nd season of baseball. He's not on the same undefeated team as last season, but he has grown the most with his new team. They are called the Angels and they most definitely are, well most of them. The season is over and they lost more than they won, but who cares, as long as they are having fun. His coaches are the best! They have taken Elijah under their wing and I love the way they teach him, they are so patient. During the game they're not all about the win, it's about doing your best and having fun. They told us that they see great potential in him, they want to have him on their team next season, and asked if he would want to be on the all-star team.
The Angels had their first playoff game today and they won. GO ANGELS!! So now they will face another opponent on Saturday. As I was watching their game today, I noticed how the coach on the other team yelled at his kids. These are only 7 and 8 year olds and they have so much pressure on them. I was not the only one who noticed, other moms did also. If Elijah had him for a coach, I would pull him out in a heartbeat or tell the coach off, which ever comes first. You just had to of heard it. But the sad thing is that I saw it on many of the teams. That is why I love Elijah's coaches, they really care for this team and they're not all about the win.
Elijah always says the most perfect comments. Yesterday in the car he told me, "I don't care if we win or lose, just as long as we have fun."

I agree with Elijah! What a smart boy! Having fun is what counts. I see coaches like that too. Thankfully Keane had really good coaches in soccer and now in Basketball. I would do the same thing(about pulling him out or talking to the coach) Yelling and screaming only makes it an unpleasant experience. They're so young.
Good coaches & teachers make all the difference to a child, don't they!
Elijah looks great! Go Angels!
i think dad's/coaches need to relive their days of sports and want to get the kids so serious about it, they will burn out quickly that way. much better to have wonderful, teaching coaches, like bronson always talks about in sunday school!
oh and i love your new background the izzie grace site is cute, lots of similar ones to aqua poppy. i love that name, i want ki to name a baby that, her middle name is elizabeth and my favorite name is grace-Izzy grace or lizzy grace, so cute:)
Glad to see u n ur fam are doing great! Elijah's getting so big! And he definitely has the right attitude. Winning and losing doesn't matter in life, it's how you perceive it- and as long as he's having fun, that's all that matters! = )
