Baseball Update

We are in the middle of baseball season. Ethan is loving it! He told me the other day that baseball is his life. He has been working on his swing this season. He recorded Chipper Jones' swing and watches it in slow motion. He is a little obsessive. I'm not sure where he gets it from. (Kidding!) He hit a grand slam in the last game. He was so proud. We ended up beating the other team by 12 runs. There has only been one close game this season. His team is still undefeated. Tournament play starts next week. When that is done, we will start practice for all stars. Ethan is marked for all stars and there is already talk of where he will go in the draft next year. (They take baseball seriously in the south... Drafting at age 7!)

He is playing pitchers mound this year. Ethan and his best bud Tucker are a pleasure to watch. Tucker plays first. Ethan fields the ball and throws to Tucker. Very few kids are getting on base and our team is getting a bad reputation as being stacked. Who knew parents could get so passionate about little league. The little league state tournament is in Chattanooga this year, so we aren't going to have to travel. This is a blessing.
