Parker and Baseball

This was Parker's first year of Coach Pitch Baseball and he did awesome!  We had so much fun watching him get his coordination and were so impressed by how fast he caught on.  He had practice once a week and games once a week.  His coaches were Coach Nate & Amy, his best friend Connor's dad & mom and good family friends of ours.  Coach Nate is so awesome.  At one of his games, Grandma & Grandpa Brown, Aunt Mollie & cousins came to watch him play.  Of course, the nerves hit Parker and instead of slamming the ball out of the park like usual, he kept striking.  The rules at the Y are that you keep swinging til you hit, but those darn nerves wouldn't let him do it.  Poor little guy was getting so frustrated and nearly in tears.  Coach Nate knew he could hit that ball, so he pulled him over right after the game and pitched to him (outside of the pressure of the game) until he hit it TONS of times in front of his family.  You did a great job, buddy, and we are so proud of you!
