Tonight Simeon had a baseball game against the Cubs. The Cubs are the 2nd place team and Simeon's team (The Cardinals) is in 5th place. It was a very well played game by both teams. Lots of great hits, catches and running. There were also some blown calls by the umpire, and honestly there were more against us then them.
8:15 came and the announcment that no more innings could start was heard. The inning ended and we were tied. The coaches decided to play another inning to have a "winner". We got up to bat, got another 2 runs in, then in was their turn up. We fielded poorly and they got 3 runs in to win the game.
Simeon was upset-you could see it in his body language, but he high fived the other team will a smile on his face.
After the game he really wanted a piece of pizza and it was now 8:45 and I said Ok (usually I say no way). One our way to the snack stand we walked by a boy from the other team. Simeon walked over to him and said "Good job!" Then again, and again he went out of his way to tell kids from the other team "good job!". On our walk out of the park he even told a coach from their team "good job coach!" I was so proud of him for being such a good player even when his team lost. I wasn't so thrilled with how thier coaches acted when they won, (and didn't feel like saying good job to them) but Simeon looked past that and was so kind to them.
I was so proud of how wonderful of a player he was today!

Way to go Simeon! Win or Lose it's having fun that counts.
That's impressive! What a good kid! He must have some pretty great parents that have taught him well and set a good example for him.
