Ryker told us after Wednesday night's game, he really wanted to win the game ball at the next game. We told him he would have to earn and gave him some tips on what may help him achieve his goal. He woke up this morning pumped and ready to go. He started off the game with a great hit off the pitcher and then three outs in the first inning. He hit off the pitcher every time at bat and had lots of great stops at 1st base and a couple outs too. He really had his head in the game today.
Meanwhile, this kiddo picked dandelions and played in the rocks.
He did it! He was awarded the game ball for his play today. He was so excited!!!
I was so very proud of him. Setting goals is not something that Ryker would typically do. He usually shies away from a challenge due to a fear of failure. The fact that he set his mind on something and went after with all he had thrilled me to no end. It helped that he achieved his goal too. Helps to reinforce the behavior! :-)
