The End of the Season

Tonight was (what I thought to be and possibly still COULD be) Noah's last game. We were told tonight that the game that was cancelled a few weeks back due to that big fire in town might be next week, but since we're going to be gone part of next week, this could still be Noah's last. Anywho, I picked Madie up at 5 from drawing class and headed straight to the field and they had already finished the first half of the 1st inning! The game was supposed to start at 5, but they got started a little early, because of an impending storm.




He was the last batter on his team tonight, so we made it in time to see him hit both times. :-) There were only 2 innings tonight, because we had that big thunderstorm and tornado watch heading our way. We probably could've made the last inning, but I'm glad they played it safe. It was a doozy of a storm!




Noah took to the field after that first inning and got 3 balls hit to him, right in a row! He did a great job fielding!!!!! Remember me telling you at the beginning of the season how he wasn't keeping his head in the game? Well, he's improved SO much this season! The turn-around happened when I told him he'd get a Bliss Chocolate every time he did his best. Well, he has been doing his best at each and every game and we've been so proud of him! Didn't hurt to tell him to do what Yoda says "Do or do not. There is no try.". That's been our motto this season. I mean, if Yoda says it, it's gotta be good, right?! Livie tried saying that today, but it came out a bit differently. She told me "Surrender or die. There is no not die." Close, Livie. ;-)




At the end of the game, the boys sat in the dug-out and listened to Coach Homer one more time. He was a really good coach and Noah liked him a lot.

He even got his very first trophy!!! He was pretty excited! It was a great season for the Padres!! Here's a little video below of his second at-bat. He hit it really well!
