The crazy world of T-Ball

So the kids decided....with the help of us....that they wanted to play t-ball. It is the funniest thing to watch! These little ones...trying to grasp the concept of baseball & at the same time all they are worried about is chasing the butterfly that just flew past or writing their name in the infield dirt...lol. It is very amusing to say the least. Robbie & I are coaching the team "The Rays" which the kids were so excited about. We had a lot of fun when Tonie was younger & played. We coached her teams as well. It's a little different being on an actual Little League Team. They play a lot more games, which keeps us on the go all week long. These last couple games the kids are really starting to get the hang of it, getting quite competitive. They no longer want to just throw the ball to first base in hopes to score an out...they run the other teams batter down...lol Esp. Kamie & Robbie, they are on top of it! Kamie even makes a scary face at the poor runner... it almost looks like she will tackle the poor kids if that's what it takes to tag them out...lol I swear I heard a little growl out of her at our last game as she scored an out for our team. And little Robbie has discovered a love for sliding to home base. He scored our team 2 points on Saturday because of it...he was SO PROUD! Coach Dad gave him the game ball, which is a BIG deal to the kids. Allie has found her niche on the pitchers mound. It seems most balls hit go straight in that direction...so it's not that much effort to stop the ball & toss it to first. She is definitely a power hitter when she focuses on her batting. I really look forward to the kids growing up...staying very active in Baseball....that's my #1 sport interest. I find myself shouting a little loud sometimes (way over the other parents) for all our kids on the team...to run here, or tag so & so out....it's so much fun!! I love sports!
