T-Ball

I apologize ahead of time for all of the pictures. Most of these should have gone up a couple of weeks ago but our computer was having issues. We signed William up for T-ball through the Y and he was so excited. He was even more excited when he found out he was on the red team, that is his absolute favorite color. The first week they were supposed to play they were rained out. We're not talking just a little drizzle, it was a freezing cold down pour. Of course I managed to make it to the school where we were supposed to have the game with my three kids before I found out it was canceled, Caitlyn ran around and then looked at me very miserably and told me she was soaked. So we had high hopes for the next week. Here is William in his red shirt. He was a little sad he couldn't wear his running shorts but it was a little too cold.

William's team. We don't know anyone on his team, so he is having fun getting to know them. I made him put his sweatshirt on because it was raining off and on.

Here is their first practice before the first game.

I think they are getting ready for a little race, I'm not sure because at this point I was chasing Caitlyn at the playground and Brandon was good enough to take his dinner break for the game so he took this picture.

William is dancing in this picture. I never realized how important dancing is during a baseball game but William has done it at every single one.

This is how Britton spent her time during practice and most of the game. She wasn't incredibly impressed.

Caitlyn struggled with the fact that William was out playing and she couldn't go with him. But she had fun on the bench behind the fence.

William at bat, waiting for the ball.

He is very serious about keeping his eye on the ball, until he gets distracted by the coach telling him which way to run after he hits the ball.

This is the next week. Notice the shorts, it was so much warmer at this game.

This hit went foul.

But this was a good one. Then he just has to remember which way to run. William really is enjoying T-ball. We do need to practice some more with him, and he needs to remember not to through balls out on the field while his team in at bat. Caitlyn just thinks that it is great that there are treats afterwards. I will admit that after the first actual game I bought special T-ball treats just for Caitlyn. My reasoning behind this came from the fact that she freaked out when William got some and I had to haul her into the van like that. Should she get a reward for a tantrum, no, but loading up three kids by myself, taking them home, and putting them to bed goes much smoother if they are happy. So we have three more weeks. William is a little sad that he misses "Wipeout" but that is the only downside.
