William's Little League team was a lot of fun to watch this year. We were nervous going into the year since it was a new-to-us coach and team. There were a few boys from his class so that ended up being great. And the coach was old school - which was awesome from a coaching perspective and annoying from a parent communication about practices perspective (hello, Hotmail!). But the coaching and mentoring the young guys was the more important part and I was really pleased with the season. William had a solid season and although his bat wasn't as hot as last year, he was a better fielder than in years past. The boys finished one point out of the championship game. Super tough loss. And William was the last out of the last game - tagged out stealing 3rd base. Really hard to tell under the lights and across the field but none of us thought he was out. But that wasn't at all the point. They had battled back to be within the 1 score, so the fact that he was within position to tie was what it was. I wished he'd had the opportunity for the championship game because he didn't get to play when his Brookdale team won it last year, as we were in Florida on vacation. And this is likely his last year of Little League. But, good experiences across the board with Little League. And although I missed my Brookdale mom friends, it was nice to meet some new people.
