My daughter's expression made her father and sister cry.

As many know I was told about a ball team for children with special needs so I arranged to have my daughter play. I was pretty sure it would be something she would enjoy even though I some people thought I was wrong. Even right up to the time we were leaving for the game her father told me he didn't think this was a good idea. I told him that it was too late now and if she didn't like it she didn't have to do it again. I had explained to my daughter that there would be children with all different kinds of abilities playing so she knew what was going to happen. Well we got there and everyone was so nice. Instead of having her hit off the tee the coach pitched to her. She smaked that ball so hard everytime and as she hit the base she was beaming from ear to ear. After the first hit I looked at her father and then her sister and they were both crying. They both told me they had never seen her so proud of herself and having so much fun. Their tears actually lasted most of the game as did the smile on my daughter's face. I know sometimes they forget how hard she works for everything she does and this was not work it was fun for her. She was able to play first base and short stop so that in itself made her feel great. There was no pressure on her and she was just actually able to have fun playing ball. They all also loved her pink bat so she was proud she could share that with the others as well. Next I need to look into the horse back riding group they have she will really love that. I am so happy that I went with my gut on this one and didn't cave into the comments from others. I know her father and my other daughter are glad she can have this experience too. There is nothing greater then seeing the joy on your child's face.
