PRODIGIOUS


How others view one's children is often quite surprising. Most recently, I experienced this when trying to navigate Cate's sports activities for the Spring season.

Last year, Cate played on a boys' baseball team with one of her friends from school. She had a great time, and the coaching was quite good, too. Therefore, we signed her up for baseball again, and she was placed on the same team. The plan was for Cate to also continue her futsal soccer practices throughout the Spring with her competitive team. However, this week we heard that the baseball practices would take place at the exact same time as the futsal practices.

Kathleen contacted the baseball coach and let him know that we probably would not be able to play on the baseball team because of the conflict. The coach quickly replied that he did not want to lose Cate from the team. He said she was a superstar and that he was willing to reschedule the practice time so that Cate could make it. Needless to say, we were taken aback. We thanked him and decided to move forward with both sports. 

We knew we had a Messi on our hands, but who knew we also had a Derek Jeter?! Here's to throwing heat in addition to scoring goals!
