Today was the AA Little League World Series, and Pete's team won! It was by far the best game of the season—the final score was 4-3 after an extra inning! As happy as I was for Pete and his teammates, my heart broke for his buddies on the other team, who played just as hard and wanted it just as badly. They're still just kids, and they were crushed. The other moms and I would have been just as happy if everyone went home when the score was tied.
Pete got a good hit, made a stunning catch (no one was more stunned than he), and was part of a great play for an out at first base. I was very grateful he wasn't pitching, because I don't know if I could have withstood the pressure.
AAA, here we come! After I take the next 10 months to recover from this season, that is.
So is the schmutzy, moldy, freeze-dried uniform now his "lucky" uniform?! ;)

Ha! Yes! He asked if he could sleep in it tonight. I had to say no.
