Isaac Starts T-Ball

Don't tell Cindy, but I'm hi-jacking her blog. :)

I wanted to tell you that Isaac is really excited to be on a T-Ball team this year. He has never actually participated in baseball, softball, kickball, or anything much like that, so he has a bit of learning to do, but really wants to. Most of his team appear to be older and more experienced in baseball so I am hopeful he maintains a sense of learning and fun throughout this.

I haven't seen a lot of T-Ball games in my life, but those that I have seen tend to look more like a large group of baby carnivores all chasing after the one limping next meal -- very fun. My favorite part of T-Ball games was nominating myself to be the commentator from the bleachers. The other parents seemed to enjoy my play-by-play calls of the action on the field.

T-Ball has come a long way. The kids seem older, more experienced, and the practices so far give the impression that the games will be played more like little league games than T-Ball. The first practice was this past Tuesday and part of it involved how to perform a double-play. I am hopeful that its purpose was mostly to introduce the kids to structured teamwork.
