We are mostly excited because Blake's best friend Hunter also plays with North Wake! They are on different teams, but they get to see each other at practices. We love our best friend family!
To be honest, Blake is one of the youngest and newest on his team. He does pretty well in the field, but he has struggled a little with hitting. This is his first year of coach pitch, so it will take some time to learn. He is meeting some great new friends and learning lots of important team lessons. As a parent, this is eye opening for me too because this is the age where you see your kid push through struggles. Sometimes its hard and sometimes its motivating. You also see him get so excited because he made an amazing play at first base, and that is the best!
This welcomes a whole new phase for us and Blake is turning into such a big kid. I don't even know when he got so big! I am so proud of him and I am excited to see how much he learns and grows this season. We are grateful for his amazing coach and the awesome older kids who help motivate and encourage him. It's hard not to get caught up in the competitive side of things, but more than anything, I hope that Blake just has fun!
