Yesterday we started Field Hockey with Kaiden.  She wanted to try it, so we signed her up for a season to give it a try.  It was the first time in YEARS that I have seen her actually nervous.  She said she felt like she was going to throw up.  When she took dance for 8 years, she started at age 2... there was no being nervous, she just always knew it.  With soccer, she started out young and has grown and attended tryouts with girls she has been playing with forever.  There is no more nervousness with that.  This time she was trying something completely new and did not know anyone.  She was afraid she would not be good at it and would feel out of place.  It was so weird to see her like that.  She ended up doing fine and it certainly will take some getting used to.  Even though the positions and game play are the same as soccer, the stick and ball will take practice.  She ended up knowing a girl on her team from Beach FC, which made her feel a little better.  We will see if this is something that sticks.  She was really excited to try it.

Ashton had his first baseball game last night as well.  He played pretty good according to dad.  Hit well, played 3rd base and 2nd base and during one run, stole 2nd base.  I was sorry I missed it.  He told me all about it once Kaiden and I got home though.  I will tell you one thing...

He looked DAMN CUTE after his game with his war paint on and in his uniform!!!  Even with his unruly. long, hippie hair! If only it was a Mets uniform.
