What I've Learned as a Baseball Mom

I'm not a soccer mom these days
(although both my boys played when they were younger).

I'm now a football mom and a baseball mom.

And as a Baseball Mom, I've learned a few very important things.

1. Don't park your car too close to the field. Balls can travel quite a distance.
2. Don't try to catch a ball without a baseball glove. It hurts. Bad.
3. Bleachers are hard on the rear end after an hour and a half.
4. the dishwasher is a great place to wash sports cups.
5. I love watching my son play baseball.
6. New Terminology: balk, line drive, grounder

4 Benefits to Little League Baseball Season

My 9 year old is in the home stretch of baseball season.

And, I thought I'd share how much I love baseball season.

4. The time spent outdoors.

I love spending time outside, 

and since I work inside and commute long hours, this is an excellent mandatory outdoor time.

You know, fresher air, vitamin D, all that jazz.

I love it.

3. Annie.

This dog needs her outside time too.

And kids flock to her during the games and during the long practices.

We take her on long walks around the field and let her fetch tennis balls.

She soaks up the sun, the attention and love her outside time at the ballpark.

2. Family Time on the bleachers.

I love that these baseball games are an opportunity for my whole family to get together and visit and support my son in his game.

We make jokes, we cheer on Remy, and we catch up and keep up with each other's life.

1. I get to see my 9 year old HAPPY!

This kid LOVES baseball.

He has a blast, plays well and concentrates on the game.

As a parent, there's no great joy than seeing your child do well and have a great time in the process!
