the dirt

time for t-ball fun.  this year they have opened it up to 4 year olds.  that means that kambel and kadence are both playing.  kadence had the chance to move up to pee-wee or to remain in t-ball.  i chose to keep her in t-ball, so i would be able to watch both girls play/practice.  plus the practice for kadence is great!  now kambel.  my free spirit.  goodness.  she loves the dirt.  she fills her glove with dirt and then shakes it out, then sits down and covers her legs in the dirt, then she yells for me that she is thirsty, then she says she is hot...  the very first practice she had a lot of work to do with her swing and making contact with the ball.  the coaches are awesome and worked and worked with her.  she did not hit a ball that was pitched but was able to hit one off the t.  she came back in line and cried for me.  it was so sad.  i went and picked her up and asked why she was crying and she squeezed out "i didn't win!!!"  so heart breaking.  i had to reassure her that practice is winning, that she was learning and it was going to be okay!  at least there is the dirt.
