T-ball has started

Spencer is in his first year of T-ball and is completely loving it. He is on the Red Sox (but can't understand why they have to have such a boring name as "Red Sox"). It is interesting to see them play at this age, as they are still trying to grasp the concept of catching a ball, let alone throwing it to a teammate at a base to try and get someone out. But they have had three games now and the improvement each game is amazing, so there is some hope that by the end of the season they might get the hang of it all.(Spencer's hat is a bit big on him, so he tucks his ears into his hat. It is cute, but sometimes I wonder if he can see what is going on out on the field.)
Brett has the opportunity to help coach the boys and is having a blast doing so. I am glad he is into baseball because really, it is not my thing, so it is nice to have him there to help out and teach Spencer.For Spencer's first game he had a crowd of fans. Grandma Higham, Becky, Michael, Doug and Liz and Alyssa, and Becky's friend Cameron all came out to cheer him on. I hope he knows that isn't the normal, but it sure was fun to have them all there. Hopefully I can get them to come to at least one more game this season. . .

Aren't all T-ball hats too big for the boys? I remember my brother's ears would always stick straight out (he never tucked his in, that would have been smart). Good luck on your games Spencer!

you're such an inspiration to all of us parents. and were a little jealous too. we had a snow storm today so it isn't t-ball weather for us yet. although, the soccer season starts next week! i hope you enjoy your time at the ball park. maybe you need a hot dog to really get the feel of the game. :)
