T-ball

You can't see it but he is actually stopping a ball.


This is the line up at the end of each game, it is so cute. The all hold their hands out and walk past the other team saying "good game" and slapping each other some high fives.


Thought I would brag about my son a little. Elijah is playing t-ball this summer for the first time. He has improved so much since the first game! He started out having to use the t most of the time and not able to swing the bat (he wasn't used to a real bat, we had him use a foam one for safety's sake). So he has practiced quit a bit at home with me and his daddy and his last game he hit the ball without the t both times he was up! He was so proud...you could see it in the way he held his whole little body. He was also able to get four balls in the field and throw them (we still have to work on the throwing part!)

Anyhow, the whole point of the game is to learn how to play. He has learned some little lessons along the way that I dare say are far more important that the art of the game. He knows that hard work pays off and that if you want to be apart of something you have to be apart of it even when it is boring (the field), and he has also learned that if he doesn't take care of his stuff...he might have to do without (he lost his glove for one game).

I have learned some lessons too.

1. bring your own seat
2. don't forget to wash the uniform
3. I didn't know how proud I would be to see my son succeed.
