Grillin

Guess who learned how to use the grill tonight! That's right, me! Mike showed me how to turn it on, and I did it...all by myself. I only grilled hot dogs, but still....gotta start somewhere right?

So today was very busy. I feel like we were nonstop from the time we got up until we went to bed. But it was a good day. The kids were good. Lily passed out at the game in grass and slept through almost the entire thing. I learned today in 7u that we do not play an hour...we play 6 innings. WHAT! I did not plan for that! I planned for an hour. Mason got into a fight with another little boy at the park. Well really I think him and another little boy started playing too rough and Mason got the short end of the stick. I turned around and saw the little boy slam Mason down into the ground. I freaked. Sat Mase by my mom took Elijah to his mom, told her I didn't want Mason near him again today. Then later they were together again and she told me. So I said yea I saw them so if he gets roughed up again then he should have listened to me. But he didn't, they played nice. So it worked out.

So Christian has developed a very poor attitude and I am not sure what to do about it. I understand he was frustrated that he struck out, but how can I get him to have constructive frustrations? He threw his bat up against the fence. I made him go back and get it. I get that he is upset...that is normal, it is not normal to throw your bat and I won't tolerate it. I mean he had an ok day, not a standing out day. But he wasn't awful either. He covered his bases, he hit...he got out. But he advanced the lead off runner 2 bases and we scored. We ended up winning by 1 point...so that counts. He didn't see that until I explained it to him. I just don't get it. He has never had a bad attitude like this.

Well I hope you have a good day! I love you. Good night
