T-Ball!

Benjamin had his first T-Ball game last week.  He thoroughly enjoyed it and was very brave.  We were pretty lost at first, and so was the coach!  We were told only the school where the game would be held but wandered around looking for our team.  We finally found the coach and he did not know where to go.  Once the official YMCA people showed up, all was made clear.  All of the families were in the wrong place, so we started a mass migration to the opposite side of the school.

We started right in with the warm up, which basically entailed showing the little ones where the bases are and what direction to run.  Lance was roped in to being an assistant coach, and he took very well to showing the kiddies what to do.  He did not seem very impressed with their skills.  Once the twenty minute practice was over the game began.  There was no score kept and there were no outs.  All of the kids ran for the ball, which led to quite a bit of confusion as there were no kids at the bases to throw the ball to.  I'm sure it will be a little less confusing next time.  I don't think Benjamin noticed.  He was thrilled to have hit the ball twice and to have caught it twice.  After the game Lance treated the boys to a delicious peanut butter and jelly pizza!


On my way home I came to the realization that this type of experience would soon become a huge part of my life.  With three little boys I know I am destined to spend hours upon hours standing in a field cheering for my little guys.  Its a different life that I am looking forward to, and this was just the very tip of the iceberg.  TOTALLY overwhelming in a positive way.
