Tyler's Last Baseball Game & The Team Bat

Tyler had his last baseball game of the season last night.  He got to play catcher the whole game and did a good job.  The sun was right in his face and I worried that he couldn't see the ball coming, but he said he could see and stayed in it.
I am so proud of Tyler.  His coach told the team at the beginning of the season that he would give the most improved player a bat when the season was over.  He gave Tyler that bat last night and told him that he was impressed with how hard Tyler had worked all season and that he greatly improved his skills.
Tony was able to be an assistant coach and really got some quality time with Tyler and the other boys.  We have loved watching Tyler play ball this season and especially seeing him be able to play catcher.  Tyler has wanted to learn how to be the catcher since starting baseball last year.  I am glad that this coach finally gave Tyler a shot.  He is super motivated to get better and wants to play fall baseball.  This mama loves watching her kids doing what they love!
