So Madi had her first softball game of the season on Thursday. All was going very well. She got up to bat and I started cheering...nothing embarrassing, just a "you can do it Madi." I saw her look over at me a few times, but thought nothing of it. Well, she struck out, and she was okay with that. But, she walked over to me in the bleachers and said "Mom, I have a favor to ask of you. Will you please not cheer for me like that, you just make me nervous. I can't do this when I'm nervous." I said "okay." She returned to the dugout and the game went on. EVERY parent around me we laughing at this exchange.
Now, although I found some humor in the situation, I was also incredibly relieved that she had so calmly come over and asked me not to cheer. It was only 3 years ago that the same kid came running down the sideline of her soccer game yelling at me, "Stop yelling so loud Mom. I don't want to play this anymore! Why are you making me do this?" So... I think it's safe to say that we have come a long way. Thank goodness!
