We decided to sign Ashton up for kickball since that is what Providence City does for the kids his age instead of t-ball. We thought it would be so fun for him and he was actually really excited about it (before it started) and loved it when we set up a little kickball field for him in our yard to practice. But when we actually got there for his first game, it was a different story...and a totally different kid. For the first few minutes he participated and listened to his coach and even kicked the ball once and ran around the bases, but since then he wants nothing to do with any of it and just sulks around saying he wants to go home the whole time while all the other little kids are having fun playing. We can't really figure it out and we never would have pegged him to be the one to act this way-he's usually so outgoing and wants to be in on all the action. Anyway he's had 2 games so far, Tuesday and Thursday night and finally at the end of the second game Lars talked him into kicking if he (Lars) would pitch the ball to him. He still has about 6 more games, so we'll see how it goes. Here are some pictures I took when he first got his shirt and hat before it all went downhill...
