Andrew is playing baseball again this year. He moved up to AA Little League this season. He is with the same team and coach again. They are the KC Royals. Andrew has been having a difficult time. He swore up and down that he wanted to play this year, but as soon as the season started he wanted to quit the team. Some of the boys on his team are very good players. You can tell that it is all that they do. Andrew, being more well-rounded, spends less time devoted to baseball. He has felt a little bit less than, which has caused him to want to quit. We have been working together to improve his skills, which aren't terrible. He just needs to spend a little time refreshing them after 10 months of no baseball. This is also the first year that the boys have had to wear a cup. It took a little bit of adjustment for that one. I can only imagine how uncomfortable it is. Needless to say, I am making him see the season through, given all that we have invested financially as well as to teach him that when you commit to something you don't quit. We don't raise any quitters in our family. Andrew has had some great hits. In fact, his last game, the coach really praised his hitting. Hopefully, by the end of the season, he will have grown and progressed.
