Last night, my son had two hits, including the go-ahead RBI. Tonight, he struck out both times at the plate. Both nights, I told him I was proud of him for his effort.

When he makes a mistake, he will look at us (parents), and every time, we're telling him good effort. Sometimes, he cracks a smile.

Sometimes as a parent of a kid in sports, you're happy when they do well doing the sports thing. Make the goal, hit the ball, score the points. All good things.

But.

I'm personally happiest when my kids are genuinely enjoying sports like the giant goofballs they are.

It's shedding season (happens twice a year) but it's hard to be upset about all the fuzz tumbleweeds because they're kinda cute

Loud, attention-seeking, and overly dramatic (even as far as huskies go), but kinda cute

Most kids in youth baseball: Bored, picking flowers, kicking dirt

My kid in youth baseball: Always talking, somehow loud enough at all times to hear from the stands, runs across the outfield to celebrate his teammates making a big play
