A Thief

John went to baseball practice with a potential new team tonight since his summer team did not have enough players. I have not watched him play since last summer, so I was quite a bit surprised to see him in the batting cage tonight. Somewhere between July and now, a kid with real power and finesse emerged. Don’t blink, people. They change way too fast. I find myself wondering how he went from that cute, chubby seven-year-old who was so excited to play coach pitch baseball for the first time to the player I saw tonight. Time is a thief.
