Out with Baseball and in with Drum line

A new year and a new hobby to throw himself into.

The monster has played baseball for the past two seasons but this year he has gotten involved with a drum line which will overlap with the baseball season for a month so he will not be playing baseball this year. I think he could do both but he is adamant that it will be too much for him. I am going to talk to him again about it and see if I can get him to see that he can do both. It will only be for a month and only two Saturday's have the possibility to be affected.

I am kind of sad that the baseball time of his life is over. I liked being a baseball mom. I am sure I will like being a drum line mom but it was nice having a sports activity to go to with the kid. I have always felt guilty that I was unable to get him into sports earlier in his life but working full time in positions that ended at 5PM more than a half hour away did not allow for me to get him to practice at 530 or 6. 

I know he in enjoying the drum line bc he has been very serious about getting there on time and dedicated to practicing and always comes out with a silly grin on his face. This weekend is his first show a couple hours away from home. I will be there with his grandmother cheering him on as always. I will even probably have on a baseball shirt bc that has the town name on it and his name, it will of course embarrass him but he will know that I am there to support him.
