T-Ball

Avery has enjoyed his first two T-Ball games! He loves the uniform, he loves the fans, and he loves to play! We have been really impressed at how well he pays attention to what is going on during the game. He's recently began watching the Reds with Steve in the evenings, and he is learning a lot about the rules and such of baseball. He's such a sponge anyway, but he is picking up both the mental and the physical aspect of the game VERY well!

For those of you who have never attended a beginner's league T-Ball game, I highly recommend it. It is both hilarious and entertaining! You could see a winning "AFV" moment at any time! :) At the first game, we decided that Avery's team will likely win the most cordial team award because the fielders talked to EVERY runner that occupied a base. Makes me wonder what 5 year old chat about while playing T-Ball???

Here are some pictures of our boy in action:

And here is what his brothers do while he is busy on the field:

Thus begins our lives as "bleacher" parents. I asked Steve if he wanted me to start logging the hours and he told me no. He said that it would make us sick someday if we actually knew that number. I'm looking forward to it! Both sets of our parents logged years in the stands and now it is our turn!

If you need me anytime in the next 20 years or so, I'll be proudly supporting my children from the stands of the local ballpark, gymnasium, or whatever sports venue is required!
