Conner has his first baseball tournament this weekend. He played 2 games yesterday which both Nana and Papa John were able to come up for. It started out a little chilly and windy but then got warm and stayed completely windy all day. They have another game today at 12...and it is COLD and windy today..so not looking forward to it. We are definitely still trying to get used to baseball.
In my opinion it is too much for these 7 yr old boys. 2 games a week plus batting practice where we can fit it in. Not to mention this weekend long tournament. These parents are SO competitive too. It makes me cringe to think what they must think of Conner since he hasn't hit a ball yet.
LeeJay was fit to be tied yesterday. Conner was last to hit on the line up for both games and he got benched twice. We picked up two kids for the tournament supposedly because they would make our game stronger and they weren't any better than our boys! Of course they played the whole time and never got benched either. I really hate the sports systems here. They are so political and ridiculously competitive at such a young age. All we are teaching our kids is that if your aren't naturally the best and a strong athlete when you are 5 or 7 then you might as well not even try anymore.
I guess I just don't get it. It seems like kids just need to be kids again.
