TGIF!!!
Sophie is ready to start playing ball. Or at least try it out. We are lucky enough to have her on a team with quite a few people we know as well as some of her best friends from school. This is the perfect opportunity to get her feet wet and she is BEYOND excited!!
I must admit that Jeff and I both are a mixture of emotions with her starting to play ball. On one hand, it seems as though she is still our baby and is just way to young to be beginning this new chapter. On the other hand, we know the importance of her becoming involved with activities and having a creative outlet. Selfishly, we would of course LOVE it if softball ended up being her "thing". Growing up, the ballfield was like a second home to the both of our families. The ballfield is where we learned so many important lessons and made life long friends. While I decided to not play past highschool, baseball is how Jeff paid for college. Needless to say, it is a shared love!
Our first priority is for Sophie to be happy, active, and involved. We want her to find something she loves, regardless of what it is. However....why not start here?!
We stocked up on our softball supplies and you just know we had to get everything in pink. She especially loved the pink helmet and wore it all around the store! The only thing that was missing was her pink cleats which we finally found after a mad hunt all over town.
We got a little side tracked but just she just loves her some Justin Beaver. Yes, she calls him Beaver and it is just so cute, I can't stand to correct her.
Super proud of her bat bag with all of her goodies.
Sadly, her very first practice was cancelled due to rain. She broke down into tears when we told her and kept asking if she could please go tomorrow. Bless her little heart! Let's just hope she feels the same way after her first practice! Let the journey begin.....
Have a great weekend!
xoxo
