I remember when playing baseball on the local diamond was fun. A bat, a ball and a couple of gloves and we all played and it was a blast. If it drizzled, we hung out. If it poured we went home. Our parents played with us or didn't. What's the deal nowadays? My son will probably be active when he's older, so I'll probably be a sports mom too - and maybe I'll like it but it's totally not my thing either.

I'm so sorry.<br /><br />When we tried all of these competitive type sports with Brandon, we surmised that Brandon is not a competitive sports type of kid (thank goodness!). But when he did go to practice, my husband always took him. If my husband were away and the weather was bad, I blew it off. I think I went once, on a nice day, and Brandon didn't want to play, so we left.<br /><br />Brandon loves to go golfing with his Grandfather, playing tennis, ice skating, karate, swimming...all activities that COULD become competitive, if he so chooses them to be, but I think he is the type of kid who is competitive within himself. I'm that way, so it doesn't surprise me that he would take on that trait as well.<br /><br />Too bad Seth doesn't have a passion for gardening like Brandon does. The worst thing that will happen is we'll find a worm!Cara Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929269041124368708noreply@blogger.com
