Dane is 9

 Pizza before the game at Dags!

Tips for the boys

Pregame huddle....

Dane has one request for his birthday - sports!  We looked into several ideas, then thought about heading to a Maine South Football game.  We had pizza before the game and then headed over for a special pre-game surprise.  The boys had a great time!

Dear Dane (Train),

Our boy is 9!  You are a very determined boy who is full of heart!  You continue to LOVE sports and it's your favorite thing to with your friends and with dad.  You have been playing lots of baseball and you made the all-star team this year which was super fun.  You pitch and play first base most of the time and you do a great job.  You can be hard on yourself as you want to be your best for your teammates.  You've been enjoying 3rd grade and you are in class with many of your good buddies!  Luca, Finn and Dane are back together (you were together in Kindergarten too) along with Rocco, Sully, Constantine and Bennett.  You are also in math with Mrs. Buti and you have been learning math at a very fast pace.  Your confidence is something you can always work on - you are so capable in so many ways!!  You are very fortunate at how most things come pretty easy to you.  You've been into golf since you were very young and your golf skills are really good as well.  You and dad love golfing together and dad says you will beat him in just a few years.
