he called me coach...

i've been assistant coaching my kids 4-6 year old t-ball team. it's been fun. the coach is a guy i grew up and haven't seen in years. i've pretty much let him do his thing since he's been at this awhile i suppose but...ehhh...

there were a couple weekends when he couldn't be there so i got to coach the kids.

i'm pretty low key when coaching...ok, that's a lie...

i'm not about the kids winning...just them having fun and playing the game "right", you know? i do give little tips on batting and what to do in the field...that sorta thing. i high 5 every kid and make sure they feel as if they're a part of what's going on.

anyways...after one session...one of the littler (but more athletic ones) comes running up to me and yells "coach! my mom brought the snacks! you gotta come have snacks w/ us coach!"...

man...that was just way cool...

another saw me after school and yelled "coach!!!" and came and gave me a huge hug.

wow...just cool...

i think i'll coach next year...
