I have a feeling I should stop titling these things as 'Day..' since most of these are not on the day they should be...whoops. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm going to do when I'm away for 6 weeks at camp! That is way to many memories to pre-write...yikes. We shall see but for now I'm getting closer to getting caught up woohoo!
Memory #133
A few years back Sam was on this baseball team called the Pirates, even though Sam was on multiple different baseball teams this particular one stands out the most. I was a freshman in high school at the time. Slowly getting over being weird awkward and more into the 'embrace the awkward and make it funny' stage, just trying to find my role in the grand scheme of society...or probably just in high school. Before I had never been comfortable with being myself around new people but it would be safe to say that at the end of this particular baseball season all that went out the window. It started out slowly, with just me quietly making up chants and songs about my own little brother each time he came up to bat, until my mom joined in and made them louder and more confident. Than with other parents in support of our silliness we started making up songs for each player when they came up to bat, which I rewrote the lyrics to the songs to apply to each individual player. We became the team that was always having fun and chanting and cheering loudly even when we weren't winning.
My mom and I got really spirited on that team, and as corny as this might sound that season gave me the confidence to be myself more openly around everyone. You would agree if you had witnessed me at camp...yikes. My mom would be one proud lady.
Love always,
Erin
