>But he did he react seeing you cry?
nah he didnt. He has seen me cry before. Im an emotional guy. I dont walk around the house crying constantly. But between the couple of funerals we have been to in the last few years. To watching Rudy he has seem his dad get watery eyes. I have always taught him it's okay to express your emotions. But you always need to be in control of them. It's okay to be sad or mad or cry. But dont ever act because of those emotions.
>Not sports related, but I'm curious how he processed that, >given all the events that went down.
he was mad all night. When we went out to eat after the game he had kind of forgotten about. I mean what 6 year old wouldnt be happy eating pizza and ice cream? But when we were driving home my dad called to find out what happened in the game. As soon as I started talking about it he got mad again. We watched the Sandlot when we got home until he fell asleep. This morning I woke up before him. I was downstairs having coffee and watching tv and he comes down the stairs and he was pissed again. I asked what was wrong and he said he woke up and saw his hat on his dresser and it reminded him of that kid hitting a bomb off him. It was funny. Im glad it upset him. Im glad it is motivating him and not making him want to quit. Today I asked him if he was nervous when the coach called him in to pitch. He said nope. I said not even a little bit? He said nope I was ready to strike them all out. The kid has ice running through his veins. I said you werent scared to pitch to the big kids? He said nope.
