Baseball is a part of growing up and softball was a big part of mine for a long time. I have been super excited for Cooper to start playing and the time finally came!!! His first game was amazingly not cancelled because of the rainy weather we've had all week. He had spent the day bow fishing with his dad, but got to the fields in plenty of time, fueled up with some Mountain Dew and beef jerky (like any good parent would do to wake their kid up) and was ready to play.

I was pretty proud of him--he had 3 hits off the coach and never had to use the tee. In the field, he played between first and second, stopped some grounders and paid attention for the most part. Every time he hit or was on base, he would just stand there and not move, or stand and wait to give a high-5 to the kid running to his base. My throat was a little sore from screaming, "RUN COOPER!!!". The last time he was on first base and ran off to go field the ball for the other team. Such a goof, but what fun memories!
