February 27

Sunday, Funday. Baseball day. (Of course!)

Isaac's team went up to Pleasant Hill this morning to play one last scrimmage before the season officially starts next weekend. 

They were pummeled quite soundly by a team with players who were significantly larger in stature, but save a ball that he lost in the blazing sunlight, Isaac had a good game and didn't tweak his shoulder again (which is a near-constant worry of mine these days. Anyway, he's there in the batting helmet leading off second base shortly after doubling to center). And when I asked him if he had fun on the way home, he responded with a resounding yes.

Because win or lose, that boy of mine loves the game. He loves the team and the scramble and the strategy. It's not that he doesn't prefer winning; of course he does. But he so loves the process that the end result is reliably a second thought in his mind. So for his 'tomorrow is always another day' approach, I'm grateful.
