Tee Ball

One of the perks to being 5 is that you can play on the local tee ball team! We have been telling Kyle that he can start playing, and he has been excited, up until yesterday. He told me he wasn't going to go. He was just feeling a little shy. So, I let him watch some other teams, Brian got him a mit and they practiced in the backyard. I still wasn't sure if he was really going to do it, but he did great!



He swung...


He hit it!!
He made it all the way around the bases, and ran to home plate. It was so fun to watch! This for me was one of those things that I have been looking forward to for a long time. Maybe it is silly, but it was a happy moment.


Of course, being in the outfield is not as exciting as being up to bat.

Most of the other kids were exactly like Kyle, just learning to play. It was so fun to watch 7 kids all run for the ball and how no one quite knew what base they should be on. Kyle even ran towards home from 1st plate. But there was such a scramble for the other team to grab the ball that he still made it to 2nd before the ball did.

He did great. Most importantly, he had fun.

Oh! That is so cute! I can't believe he is old enough for that. I'm so glad he did so well. Cute boy!

How fun! It's so cute watching them learn the game of baseball. Kyle will love it!

How cute! He will probably play Alec's team. Alec didn't do so good her first game. She ran from second to home. And when Ace was in the outfield he just layed down and said he was waiting to bat!

Kyle looks so cute in his hat!

WOW! Kyle is so big now and looks so responsible. Teem tried spring training, we left after 10 minutes. We don't like American sports. Unless we can come see a game Kyle is in.
