Stephen with his biggest fan!

We have finally had a couple of baseball games! The weather has held off or dried out enough that Stephen has played in 3 games. Stephen is on a t-ball team called the Bats. His favorite position is "the pitcher's mount" and he also likes to catch! It is the perfect combination if you ask me. He is so excited when it is baseball day and looks forward to playing. He is hitting the ball well, can throw pretty far, and is working on catching. He is just loving his first experience with organized sports!

This is one of Stephen's favorite parts, saying "Good game" and slapping hands!

He doesn't just run through the base, he jumps on it!

Just look at his form!! A chip off the old block!

T-ball is not just an experience for him, but for his parents too! There are no outs, everyone bats, everyone runs all the bases... which is a little hard for Daddy since he enjoys watching Major League baseball. But it is instilling the basic principles of the game, run to first, then second, third and home, throw to first, keep your eye on the ball, don't be scared of the ball, teamwork, good sportsmanship, and other great baseball qualities so they will be prepared to go up to the next league. This will be a fun season, as I love to watch Stephen play a game he loves, get to know some new kids (and parents), and learn new skills. Keep watching for more updates on baseball!
