Take Me Out to the Ball Game

This past weekend, Emily and Christian had their first baseball games of the season. Emily is one of two girls on her team. Her league is coach-pitch, so each kid gets three pitches before they bring out the tee. In the two innings played, Emily got two hits without the tee. She's a real slugger. On her first hit, as she was running to first, she stopped to take off her batting helmet to bring it back (it was too uncomfortable). On her second hit, she remembered she had to wear her helmet the whole time, but she took it off and gave it to her coach before crossing home plate.

Christian plays tee ball. He had a lot of fun meeting new friends and started playing catch right away with another little boy. He really liked batting (seriously, what little boy doesn't like hitting things?) Cubby taught him how to crouch down and get ready to field the ball. He was even pounding his glove with his fist and taunting the batter (e.g. "Here, batter, batter"). Very funny.

We forgot the camera for Emily's game, but Cubby ran home in between games and got the camera for Christian's. So, enjoy Christian's pics. Hopefully Emily will forgive us - we'll add some pics of her playing next week.

Next week, we'll get him to point before he hits
