Which Way Do We Go????

Tonight was our first night of t-ball practice and it was the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. We have 3 or 4 boys under 4 and it shows. They were the funniest to watch. Then we have about 4 or 5 who have played before and that shows. Then, you have those of us in between. They kinda know what is going on but have an attention span of about 15 minutes.

Brody did pretty good for his first organized sport. He doesn't quiet have the concept of paying attention to the ball but they tell us to be patient, it shall come. He still hasn't decided if he wants to throw and catch left or right handed yet. So we do have to work on that. He did great at batting but ran between first and second base but eventually made it to first and then on to home in the right order. He does listen to his coaches very well. Much better than listening to us.

He did want to watch the cars go down the road, kick the dirt and dance around. Overall he did very well. We are very proud of him and can't wait for the next practice. Our first game will be on April 25, not for sure of the time yet.

After practice we had a meeting for the parents. Boy, we have our work cut out for us. Saturday we have a work day starting at 8:00 a.m. to get the fields cleaned, fields in order and a cover over the dug outs. Practice again on Monday (that is our normal practice day) and then again on Thursday. Sometime in between this we have somehow gotten ourselves into a casino night fundraiser. Meeting dates to be determined. We all must work the concession stand several times during the year and who knows what else. I do believe we are going to be busy but will be loving every minute of it.

Pictures will follow in a later post.

WOW! You are going to be very busy! Why do they need so much money? Haven't you already sold candy bars? Aren't the coaches volunteers?

Yes, we have sold lots of candy. All the fields need work (new bleachers,new dug outs, new fences) so we are assuming that is where the money is going. and yes the coaches are volunteers.
