This was Tommy's fifth year playing ball but Avery's first. While I love my oldest son, he's just not into sports at this point in his life. And while we're hoping he will eventually grow to love them, we might have to accept that he may not. So while we are not trying to raise quitters, I had to allow Tommy to stop playing early in the season because he was hating it. And the part that bothers us is that he could actually be really good if he tried harder - he has a great arm, a great eye and can catch the ball when he wants to. But I'm trying to learn not to push him and maybe eventually the athletic gene will kick in! Anyway, since Tommy quit Avery decided she didn't want to finish either. And since it was more work for me than anyone else because *I* was the one toting three children around 5-6 times a week to practices and games I didn't fight it. Avery has her loves and if baseball ends up not being one of them I'm absolutely ok with that.
But there is always next year :)
