3 hour practice Friday for my oldest (11), followed by a two hour practice for the young one (7) on Saturday, then two 3 hour clinics today. It was the warmest day of the year, and all the kids wanted to take it easy. I Had to push the oldest one to go to the clinic and give her the lesson on what "voluntary" really means then watched her have a great time out there. After ice cream, we came home to a totally unexpected email from her hitting coach (who has left the area for her career) urging us to give her an update. That's when my DD gets that huge grin, realizes she now has something to talk about, and be proud to have worked through the heat. Maybe that lesson about working hard all the time and not just when you feel perfect is starting to get through.
