it isn't all fun and games.....

when you are up against the first place team and you let a grounder go through your legs. oooh...he was not happy with himself. austen tends to be pretty intense when he plays and is really very hard on himself when he doesn't play well.. the thing is, he does play well and we have to remind him that every ball isn't a home run or even a hit and every ball fielded isn't a double play or even an out.
he shook it off pretty good and got back into the game.....
but as little league goes, it always keeps you hoppin'.
in a funny side note, the team was asked to vote for two boys on the team to send to an all star team in july. the boys would vote and then the coaches would take that into account and then pick two boys based on the votes and their own recommendations. i asked austen who he voted for...he told me "i voted for myself". geez...did i raise an egotist?? so i went to my neighbor's house (her son nick is on austen's team) and asked nick who he voted for and he said "i voted for myself". i don't feel so bad anymore.....
