Just Thoughts and Nothing Else

 Kids and baseball are such a wonderful site to see but from a grandmother's point of view is seems extraordinary especially when you have three grandsons on the same team!
Yesterday was phenomenal!  Yes of course I notice all the kids playing and I'm a team player but maybe because I'm the Grandmother of those three fantastic boys!  One's a third basemen, one is a pitcher or first baseman and the youngest and fastest is a shortstop and outfielder (don't ask which position because I just was lucky enough to get these spots down in my head)  But he's the outfielder because he's got such a great arm that he can throw the ball all the way to home plate!  They are only 10, 10 and 8. The pitcher is the one that they call in when the game is getting ahead of them and he tries to keep the runs down by striking the kids out.  It's amazing to see.

They have won 10 out of 12 games and then this was their championship game and unfortunately they lost this one and although they were pretty sad and upset, they've got great coaches who really make them feel proud and above it all.  They walk away okay with the whole situation and understand they can't win them all!
But what I find fascinating to watch as a grandmother, is that I remember going through this as a mom and It's like watching my kids all over again.  Difference is, my kids were okay at baseball but they weren't the outstanding players that these little guys are.  I remember one kid that was on my son's team when they were little, and he was phenomenal and really took the game serious for so young and while I watched my grandson's playing yesterday, I saw that my grandson's were pretty darn phenomenal themselves, so much that I think they will be into sports for some time!  Our pitcher, seems to excel in every sport he plays and he loves the game.  I think he will be one of those kids that gets scholarships for college because of his abilities!  His name is shouted so much throughout the game for great plays and fantastic pitching.


So I'm pretty proud and I loved watching their game.
Time passes so fast in your life, so don't blink too fast because you just might miss something phenomenal! 
Being a grandparent feels like watching your life in a sense start all over again but with aches and pains you didn't have being a mom but it still feels like you are really seeing your children out there on the field all over again.  The flashing before your eyes feeling.
