Colton is a couple weeks into his first T-Ball season and so far he is having a good time! He is finally starting to figure out the rules of baseball a little and he doesn't throw quite as much like a girl anymore! We have T-ball every Monday and Wednesday night through the end June. Colton has 14 kids on his team, 11 boys and 3 girls! They have had 4 games already and the first game was quite comical as we had only had 2 practices prior. When a ball was hit to the outfield about 6 of our players would run to the ball and pile on top of it until someone came out of the pile victorious! We have gotten much better, the kids actually understand all the different positions for the most part and they stay in their own positions. Colton has even made a couple outs although which we were pretty proud of. They play 3 innings every game and the kids rotate through all the positions - Colton's Favorites are Catcher, Shortstop and Pitcher as they get all the action (not many balls get hit out to the outfield in T-ball)!! When on offense each kid gets to bat, they do not keep track of outs or runs! This is instructional T-ball so it is meant to teach them the fundamentals and create a love for the game and it seems to be working as the kids have a blast - even if that means they spend an entire inning in the outfield picking flowers!! Here are a few pictures from our first couple practices and games!
My favorite T-Ball moment so far was during last nights game when Colton was up to bat! He walked up to the tee like he owned the place and thenhe looked out to the field and yelled "Fire in the Hole"!! My sister and I both burst out laughing and then looked around and said whose kid is that!! Seriously, where does he come up with this stuff!!
