T-Ball!!

We recently signed Brett up for T-ball and he had his first session Wednesday evening! Even though Brett was so excited, we still didn't know how it would go. It usually takes Brett some time to warm up to new situations, so we were prepared for him to just want to watch the first time. But boy did our little guy surprise us!! As soon as we got there he was ready to go and his beautiful smile rarely left his face :-)

The first thing the coach did was split the kids into two groups. Brett's group started out practicing throwing and catching with a baseball mitt. We kept having to remind Brett that he could move when he was trying to catch the ball! He was would stand still with his arm out, waiting for the ball to just fall into his mitt :-) Eventually he got the hang of it though, and was moving his arm toward the ball to catch it. He did great and had so much fun!





After throwing and catching for a little while, it was time for some batting practice! Brett is so stubborn and always wants to do things "my way" as he tells us - so teaching him a new skill can sometimes be a challenge! Thankfully he listened to the coach though :-)

After all that fun, it was time time to hit the ball on the field and run the bases!


This big sister was a great help!


And of course, T-ball practice wouldn't be complete without a game of Red Light Green Light at the end :-)


After practice we went to get ice cream, and while licking our spoons I asked Brett what his favorite part of T-ball was... "All of it! I liked all of it, mommy!" Yep, it was a good night :-)
