This was Barnes' second year to play tee ball. Our team members from last year were all kids that were older than bbp so they moved up to coach pitch and we stayed in tee ball. It was at first a hard transition for Barnes because he wasn't going to know anyone and begged to play with his old team.
But in true Barnes Perry style by the time the first half of practice was over he knew everyone and was giving high fives telling people great job! He is such a social child, it is probably his greatest gift. That he never meets a stranger and genuinely want to know about other people.
We enjoyed our season with RJYoung and learned a lot. Like how to slide(into every base) how to hit the ball straight and far, how to anticipate the ball coming to you and how to not run and tackle the ball and the player who's also going after the same ball. He was given the Game Ball on 5/13 for always hustling and running when on the field. Coach Luke says we have a future ball player on our hands. Whether he ever plays much past childhood or not, I have to say, I've just been impressed with his enthusiasm. He really does everything 110% whether its sports, loving his baby sister, caring for his mommy or watching every move his daddy makes trying to replicate it. He's got heart and zest for life and I hope it continues all the days of his life. Half of success is the desire to succeed and do a good job and I have no doubt he has this trait in spades.
