My boy Wyatt is playing in a summer wood bat league and my nephew Josue just finished up his season on the city All Star team. Josue is six weeks younger than Emily, so I have pretty much watched him grow since day one. He and Emily have always been close. We have two high schools in town and they don't go to school together but I really wish they did. Now that they are deep in the midst of teendom, they awkwardly avoid each other in all but the most intimate family gatherings, but I know that will pass and they will always have a special connection. I didn't get to grow up with my Josue, Emily is luckier than she knows.
This kid is a rockstar in our world of baseball and also in school. He has amazing parents and he is just an all around awesome kid.
I am so proud of Wyatt, he works really hard and he plays really hard! Just look how serious he is.
It doesn't get much better than getting out there and watching your kid or your nephew play this game. I love it!
