Softball Slugger

Despite our assumptions that she would make a career of dance and gymnastics, Mackenzie has declared that softball is her favorite activity.   After a rocky first practice, when she cried and didn't want to leave my side, she now counts the days to softball, loves her black and silver "Rebels" uniform, and is eagerly anticipating her first game this Saturday.

We are happy to see her get such joy out of her first team sport, and love the pride she shows.  My favorite example is that when they finally got their hats, she insisted on writing her own name in her hat, and penned her name as meticulously as I have ever seen her write it.

After just a handful of practices, Mackenzie has quickly developed a nice, fundamental throwing form, is putting together some nice swings on the ball, is getting more consistent with her batting stance, and as soon as her little hands get big enough to squeeze her mitt over the ball, I'm certain she will be a stellar fielder!

 We are looking forward to a fun season!

GO REBELS!!!
