Joseph has been asking to play baseball for awhile now so when two of his friends signed up for t-ball we decided to do the same. The three boys are on the same team (the Little Giants) which makes it fun for them and for us, parents, too.
Joseph was really excited for opening day and even more so once he received his shirt and Daddy explained that it was reversible. He came running over to me, "Mom, this shirt is WHITE but then it can also be BLUE! Cool!"
This is definitely a parent participation sport at this age and basically the parents are on the field the entire time. Rich has pretty much taken the role of assistant coach but they are both having fun out there (for the most part at least!)
After the games Joseph is excited but he has said that it can be boring, too. He has asked why he has to hit it off the tee and why they can't just pitch it to him like how we play at home.
Joseph did earn the player of the week medal at the second game for having good sportsmanship and trying his best which was pretty awesome.
It is definitely pretty cute to watch him play and we also like it because they practice before the game so it doesn't take up an afternoon during the week to practice. Not sure if we'll play again next year or wait a few more years, when he doesn't have to use a tee to make him happier :), but definitely enjoying his first season!

Ella has fun during the games, too, with her buddy Evan!

This picture just makes me laugh! There was an older girl doing summersaults so they just had to join in!
