T ball

I thought for sure that Joseph would be dying to follow in the footsteps of his big sister and start soccer this spring.  But he kept routing for BASEBALL.  I LOVE baseball...so I couldn't have been happier with his choice!  So began our T-ball days!

We were not thrilled with the purple jerseys that were assigned to their team, The Purple Spiders, but at least our coach is a true KU fan!

It's pretty funny to watch these little boys come out and bat for the first time.  It's funny how once they hit the ball...they are almost afraid to drop the bat and run to first.   It's funny to watch them in the outfield watching fire trucks go by while the other team bats.  It's funny watching them cheer their opposing teammates on as they run past their base.  So cute!

J is a pretty good little hitter.  He is a lefty.  I must do something to my children that makes them favor their left hands...b/c I think all three might be lefties!  We need to work on his catching and throwing a bit....but that will all come in time!

So excited to go to baseball games as he gets older.  I hope he loves it as much I used to love watching it.  Thea and I LOVED our Royals baseball cards.  So much in fact that I hid my prized George Brett card so well so Thea couldn't steal it ....that I never found it before we moved:(  Willie Wilson was her real hero anyway!  Hahaha!

Here's to a great season!  Go Purple Spiders!
