T ball craziness….
Last night was T ball practice, and something was with all the little boys there, it was pretty funny to watch. I am super impressed with their coach, who takes everything in stride, and somehow seems to regain their focus over and over and over again, they actually get through a practice, hit the ball, run the bases, and are learning.
Some of the things he had to deal with last night were, boys digging in the dirt- (my son), hitting kids on the helmet with a bat- (my son), another kid who decided to run the bases, and steel everyone’s gloves, another kid thinking it was funny to play from a kneeling position…. and it goes on and on. It was very entertaining to watch. I think it was something in the warmer air, because right before we left for practice, my son decided to run through the neighbors sprinklers…

Great picture. And I love how you and Brody both said, “over and over” in your posts this morning. Have a great t-ball season!

I have great memories of playing in little league baseball growing up.
Looking back, I think what you’re talking about here may be one of the many benefits — it helps you to focus your energy on a single goal as a group, and accomplish something together despite all the distractions.

That is great. You know Dad and I wish we could see that. Just to warn you though, “Spray and Wash”, we bought it by the jug back then. Brody, after a game if he was not dirty enough would run and slide into the bases, just to make sure he had a good stain on those white pant.
Good memories are being made right here for you.
Love you, Mom
