Oh, and baseball, forgot to answer that one Deb.
First of all, you should know, this is only our second year of baseball. For a long time, I would not let my oldest play because he is subject to instant deafness and/or addtional hearing loss with head injury. That was such a frightening concept for so long, that I just couldn't deal with the risk. But, as boys get older and you see that they really need the physical outlet, and the comraderie, etc, you have to put those risks into perspective. So I slowly considered sports, like soccer when he was littler, but then that got too aggressive, so last year he switched to baseball. I don't let him pitch or play catcher, but other than than he has no restrictions.
So, by way of explanation, I find the whole baseball community a little shocking. They are really committed fans. I think it's sort of fun, but don't really feel it is necessary to do 5 nights a week, and I think it would be okay to not reschedule every stinkin game that get's rained out!
We have had two games rained out so far, we played our first game and we won 12-2 which made our boys and coach really happy. My son is hitting the ball and having a great time. Opening day we had a ceremony with a local Q13 news personality MCing and Andrew had a cheesy picture taken with him that made the local rag, so I will post that when I get a minute.
How's baseball going for you Deb? Don't tell me your one of those nutty baseball parents
