Well, there actually are other things going on in our lives aside from growing this baby girl! Thomas started t-ball a couple of weeks ago and so far is having a blast (that's him in the green hat and orange sleeve t-shirt).
At his first practice, he learned how to field a ground ball, throw, and hit off the tee. We have been practicing with him hitting right off of an underhand pitch so he wasn't as familiar with the tee. He got one or two good hits during his turn, though. His coach also had him batting right-handed, which I think was a little awkward for him. He takes after his daddy and actually prefers to bat left-handed. We'll try that at the next practice and see if he does a little better.
They have about six coaches which gives the kids lots of one-on-one time. The kids are all 5 and 6 years old so there are some bigger boys on the team, as well as two girls. I've even already picked out "that mom," who is sure to drive everyone nuts with her constant shouting and critiquing of her son from the sidelines (rolls eyes).
His team name is the Mariners, and games start May 10th. He's learning a lot about teamwork and taking turns which has been really good for him (he's just a little competitive like his daddy, too!). Can't wait to see how he does in a game situation!
Go Mariners!
