What Can I Say...........

Trent had a very exciting game last night. He played extremely well. (Not just his mom talking here!!) Imagine..... Two men on (1st & 2nd).. Trent's up to bat... and WHAM.....all the way to the fence. HOMERUN. He was sooooo excited. Then the coach switched Trent from third to first base. I was nervous because he is so used to third. He actually caught the ball and touched the base. OUT!! He got the runner out at first. And because of all of this.... he received the game ball. It was such a moment.

Ok. So there is a reason why I told you that story first....

Friday night Trent also played extremely well. He had two big hits and some great plays. Our first baseball had gotten hit in the mouth with the ball when the ball came up from his glove and hit his mouth. So he was taking a little timeout. The second inning they usually switch the players around so everyone gets a chance to play. So Trent went from third to short stop and we had a new 1st baseman. I leaned over to Jeff (Brett's Cousin) and said "I don't think that is a very good idea because Trent is so used to throwing such a long distance from 3rd to 1st. He is going to over throw the ball to the first baseman." A couple of plays later Trent got a grounder and threw it to the 1st baseman. It was a great throw right to him. (His face that is) The player didn't get his glove up in time and Pow. Right to the mouth. Ready for this..... Knocked the poor kids tooth out. I felt so bad. He was bleeding and crying. But was ok soon after. He got right back out there. After the game I told Trent to apologize. Trent looked at me and said "Mom, he should have caught the ball, it was right to him." It was all I could do not to laugh. Trent did finally say he was sorry.
