Most Valuable Player

June 7th was Camden's last T-Ball Game...forever.Next year, he'll play Rookie ball which will be a major step-up, with all balls being pitched by a pitching machine. He'll be fine...but I honestly cannot believe how quickly these last three years of T-Ball went by.

We started the first year in 2005 with Camden being very skittish and apprehensive of the game, yet still wanting to play. Although we spent most of the game complaining and whining about it. Last year was better, still a little whiny but much better. This year, phenomonal. Played every game with no complaints.

Most of you know that TD was the head coach every year and every year they were the Yankees. After handing out trophies provided by the league to each player, we headed to the car to get ready to go.

TD called Camden to come over under the picnic shelter because he had something for him. TD had an old softball trophy that he had won years ago that he had fixed up for Camden. He ordered a brass nameplate with the following inscribed: Camden Layman, 2008 Yankees T-Ball Most Valuable Player.

Camden was so excited ... and Mommy shed a few tears.
