After living with an excitement/apprehension cocktail of emotions for literally months leading up to baseball season , the 1st practice was finally here. He was so happy! The typical Kaleb demons (pride, insecurity, embarrassment, fear) were all cast out by the playful coaches, enthusiastic teammates, crisp night air and the freedom to run and hit things with sticks.
He went up to the coach afterwards and sputtered out, "Hey! Xuse-me! I don't LIKE dis game....I LUB IT!"
He wants to come back everyday. He wants to watch The Sandlot. He wants to hang his bat bag on a mail above his bed. He doesn't even know about the snack at yet!
