T-ball Daze

This is our first year of organized sports. Bill made a rule when the kids were younger that they couldn't play on a team until they were in kindergarten. Boy was I glad to comply with that one! It is hard to keep two young kids occupied while trying to watch one play the game. I couldn't imagine doing this when Natalie was a tiny baby. So far the only sport Ethan wants to play is Baseball. He is really good at it when he can keep his focus on the game. Last night he was last batter up and in the second inning, he hit a home run! It was pretty exciting. So far he likes to play second base the best.

Just a few shots of him warming up and getting ready to hit the field.

I had to catch him in action. Here he is on first base waiting for the next kid to hit the ball. Like the little dance? hee, hee
Miss Elena also briefly got into the T-ball action. At our rec center they offer an introduction to T-ball. You just show up on certain mornings and they divide the kids up and teach them the basics. Since we have been playing T-ball in the back yard, and Ethan was on a team Elena wanted to play her T-ball too. Well she was ready - she had a baseball hat, a baseball glove.- all set.

She did really well in the beginning. She was up to bat first and enjoyed running the bases, but didn't last long in the outfield. She hung on the cone they used for the base, then she laid down on the ground, then she came up to me and told me she was done. This baseball thing takes too long. I think we are gonna push for soccer for this little girl :) A little more action....
