*Jaguar Softball*
This was a season that seemed like it lasted FOREVER!
Courtlyne usually had a good time. This was the first year that the girls actually pitched to each other so it was a big step up. Courtlyne wasn't the best on the team but she also wasn't the worst. Ben worked really hard with her to get her to hit good in the games. She has a great stance and a good swing, when she doesn't think to much and just does it, but come game time she would never swing. Ben got so frustrated. But he kept plugging along.
One time after repeating himself about 100 times, while helping Courtlyne practice, he just about lost it. He had to take a break and come in the house. He later apologized to her and said-"Remind me when I am getting frustrated with you that I am not being a good Dad."
She would try to remind him but sometimes patience wears thin.
Towards the end of the season we got a little better and started to win some games. Sad how a few of us parents just wanted it to be over--but they learned a lot and got a lot better by the end of the year. Ben also learned a little more patience by the end of the year- so we all improved!
"Be patient enough to live one day at a time, letting yesterday go and leaving tomorrow until it arrives."

I love that quote.
I am NOT a patient person. There have been times I have had to leave the room with Addie while reading with her because I get too frustrated with her and start snapping. I have to remind myself that I am the one with the problem. She is doing her best and I expect too much from her.
I think we all learned alot from this season. Your new picture at the top is way cute.
