JB's 1st T-ball Practice

JB and Daddy have been WAITING for this day! It was a big one. Yes, I know - this is ONLY practice but.... when you are 4 and find out that you get to play BASEBALL yourself... that is BIG news even when it is practice for a game. JB and one of his favorite coaches of all time - Daddy! I told HC to pack a bag to bring along - in case she got bored. Little did I know that my girl was packin' pom poms! :)
Coach Mike - teaching his group of 3 to catch the ball with an alligator chomp.
Coach Steve, aka Daddy, helping the boys learn to field the ball. So far, so good.
And up to bat for the Braves, is JB.
He hits
HC also brought her binoculars. I love the way she thinks! haha
The boys became more and more aggressive in fielding the ball.
It became a full contact sport.
My JB is ALL IN! I love it - but.... I think they are going to clarify that there isn't a race to catch the ball. The point is to catch the ball and stop the OTHER guys, not tackle one another. Oh well... this was the first practice.
And finally it was time to practice running the bases.
JB was THRILLED to run and JUMP onto each base.

I do believe we've found JB's niche. He had a blast playing and it was just as much fun watching.

JS wants to learn how to play baseball. I guess we'll be teaching him. *sigh*

Such a gun milestone! The mommy taxi is about to begin for you. Well, I guess it already has, but now you can add one more stop on the list.
