Dirt Frogs

Jorja's first softball game was today.  She did great!  She played shortstop, catcher and left field.  Her catcher stance has gotten so much better.  I had to laugh when the umpire pulled the back of her catcher gear to move her away from the plate.  I was extremely okay with that! Jorja also got an excellent hit!  Probably the best one I've ever seen from her.  I think the the other two times she was up she walked.  She did get out stealing second.  Jorja seemed to have a lot of fun.  She was really worried about this year because the other team has been together for so long and she just came in.  I don't think she is worried about that anymore.  Jorja's team was trying to think of a name after the game. Jorja was the only one who was giving suggestions.  She yelled out Dart Frogs!  Hurricanes!  Team Jorja!  Most of the girls said they didn't care. Jorja yelled, "Team Jorja it is!"  Then they cared. They decided on Dart Frogs.  Jorja yelled, "Yay!  Dirt Frogs!"  Whoops.  This is also the first time Jorja will be on a team where they care about winning.  Her other teams have been great, but they might have lost every game. Jorja still loved it though.  She was worried about this team and the expectations of the coaches.  I think she might find out that she enjoys winning too.
