Good Sportsmanship

We just walked in the door from a very long, boring, and cold baseball game. Myles barely got to play and his team lost severely. So of course I go into my motherly spiel about it is only a game. I remind him he is playing baseball to be active, have fun, and to learn to work as a team. But Myles wants nothing to do with that stuff, he just wants to WIN. The child has played sports nearly sense he could walk, but still losing makes him furious. I just don't get it, because I am the complete opposite of competitive. So if anyone has any pointers on cultivating good sportsmanship in this child feel free to share. I am fresh out of ideas!!

Also, one of the founders of Baskin Robbins past away yesterday. I cried for hours!!!! What a loss! Now losing a game I can handle, but losing one of the men who created my house of worship, how will I go on!?!?!?! I know, I will go have some ice cream and that will make me feel better :)

Sleep tight! I am going to go nestle down for the night before I turn into a pumpkin.
