There is an awesome program here called Buddy League where they pair a typical child (8 or older) with a special needs child to play in a league of baseball. G had his first game this last weekend and unfortunately baby R was sick so I had to miss it, sad huh??? However, dad was there sitting next to another family on G's team and together they cheered the loudest for G when it was his turn up to bat.
Every child gets to bat and run to
home base so there isn't really a team that loses and one that wins...they all win! Fabulous concept, I'm glad G could be a part of this. He tells us that he wants to play "another ball" next time (he means he wants to play soccer and basketball next). I'm so glad he is enjoying being on a team that is there to help him and accept him!!! GO BRAVES!!!!!
