T-ball

On August 28th, a new era began in the Savage household: T-BALL! Both Nicholas & Jason were waiting for this moment... and it finally arrived. My boys have worked on hitting off the tee and fielding, but t-ball practice was a whole new experience. At the first practice, the boys were divided into three groups: one worked on fielding, one worked on positioning when up to bat (with a fake pitch to signal when to bat) and running to first base, and the third concentrated on hitting off the tee. Nicholas had difficulty with fielding (as every 5-yr-old does) but did great with the other two stations. He has a lot of friends on the team, the rest are soon to be friends I'm sure. This may make cause listening difficulty...
So I dug up an old picture of my brother playing t-ball. Just how I remembered. The "field" was really a grassy area where they threw down some bases. Oh how the times have changed. Alternately, Oh how the Texans love their youth baseball! The field is INCREDIBLE! Grass infield, beautifully manicured, scoreboard, covered bleachers, playscape for the little ones. Wow!
On opening day, we have two games... can't wait! More pictures to come...
