We were a little hesitant to put Brandon in team sports, he is so shy and can be socially awkward, but he is proving us wrong! and is really enjoying himself! He absolutely loves his coach , he teases him and plays with him just like a buddy. As far as the kids his own age he has gained a few new friends. He is quite the joker, when the coach asks him to throw the ball overhand, he tells him he's practicing bowling and throws it underhand and laughs and laughs, when the coach tells him to hit the ball really hard and far off the tee, he swings great big only to stop right before the bat contacts the ball to just barely knock it off the tee, and laughs and laughs and laughs....his coach is very good natured, and has a great balance as far as playing along and enjoying his sense of humor and getting Brandon to be serious. Two more games to go and Brandon will be disappointed t-ball is over....though we got a flyer in the mail today regarding soccer....hmmmmm now that's a sport after my own heart!
