I'm going to take all this advice with me to the field. We have our first scrimmage in 30 minutes. I haven't spoken to J. since our discussion last night as I went to bed in tears and his dad drove him to school this morning.
In reading back over this discussion, I think my goodness - what drama! When did I become that parent I saw and couldn't stand when my husband coached little league? Actually, I sound more like one of those T-Ball parents who's expecting little Johnny to impress the League Director his first time "at tee."
Wish us luck...it's sunny but COLD here - and we're a 2A scrimmaging a 4A.
Thanks, again, I appreciate everyone's input! I'll let you know how things progress.
