1. Don't take the game, your DD or yourself too seriously.
2. Try to maintain perspective (youth softball is not the WCWS)
3. Smash your "Parent Goggles".
4. Don't let DD play injured (see #2)
5. Have fun!

That made me laugh even after the 2nd & 3rd time seeing it. DD likes to leave me "the surprise bomb". She will leave her cleats in the car after a long hot weekend.

I remember one time, after a somewhat cool night, I didn't notice in the morning, but after them sweltering all day at work I got in my car and closed the door and I thought I was going to yak..!!

As a parent with hopefully many years left in this crazy world. This reminded me of why we do this, there is no way I would rather spend time then watching my girls play. I also know this time will all go so quickly so I enjoy each and every second of it even the smelly cleats most of the time.
