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."
