We Struck Out!

Tonight was supposed to be the first night of Spillville Little League... well it still was, just that our little girl chose not to participate. We have been waiting for this day for about a month, and slowly trying to get Eryn comfortable with Little League. She's such a timid little girl, and so reluctant to try new things. So we tried the approach of not talking about it and just going. I got the kids laced up in socks and shoes (not such an easy task on such a hot and humid day) and said we were going to the park. I snuck Eryn's ball glove in the car this morning, so we were ready to go. As soon as we pulled into the park, Eryn made a comment that they were having Little League practice, and I asked her to join in on the fun. Well, that did NOT go over well. Needless to say, we tried. Now, on to other summer activities. I am looking into both kids taking swimming lessons this year, so we will focus on that, and maybe re-visit Little League next year!
