Baseball

I am trying to catch up with my blogging!! Several weeks ago Jonathan had his end of season team party. This was Jonathan's first time playing baseball and he had a blast. In fact only a few weeks into the Spring season and he was already asking to be signed up for Fall season!! This season he was a Ranger, which he liked as they are the Texas team. He had two wonderful coaches who were very patient and encouraging with him as he had not only never played before, but didn't know really how to play. He usually kept us on the edge of our seats each time he was at bat as most time he went full count, watching and waiting for just the right pitch, but also not swinging at anything he didn't think was worth swinging at. The parents and coaches were brilliant and we have found a baseball family already. It all became a bit hectic with game schedules towards the end of the season and so many games got rained out and the beginning. But his team were triumphant and they finished the season first in the league. Sadly, they missed out on the championship title. I am so pleased that Jonathan has found a sport that he loves so much.
This was the cake that I made for his end of season party. It would have looked a bit better if Andrew hadn't thrown his bottle on it in the car on the way over!!!
