so on dylan's teeball team, there is this crazy incentive to get a piece of bubblegum if you get an out when playing on defense. this whole idea centers around motivating the kids to 'get it' when it comes to the concepts of baseball. Dylan is the king of sucker when it comes to quick incentives. he loves rewards and is eager to please. he has been trying like hell for a piece of bubblegum for weeks and weeks and weeks. well, tonight he earned his first piece of bubblegum AND i missed it!!! that is the tricky part about all these kids, and this busy double working parent house is that there is never enough time....
The next best thing for me was Dylan's beautiful mile-long smile opening the door at 7:30 saying, "Mommy, I got a piece of bubblegum. I got an out." After my celebration, I sent Dylan into the bathroom to tell Olivia who was in the shower at the time. She shouted, "Good Job, Dylan! I am proud of you!" He giggled and loved the attention. We love our little athlete, just have to say it!
