Today was Caleb's first t-ball game! Caleb came to our bed this morning and said, "today is my game Mommy!" He was so excited to eat breakfast and hurry to put on his orange jersey as he calls it. After that he was thrilled to see a little green car pull up which meant Gramma had arrived.
The game was such fun, and we all had many laughs. Most of these kids had never played an actual game. After our practices I thought our boys were doing good, but I didn't really know what to expect except that it would be funny to see what they did with another team on the field with them. We had kids who would hit the ball and just stand there until the umpire told them to go ahead and run! We had kids who couldn't get to first base because the other team was in the way getting the ball so they ran straight from hitting to second base! We had one little boy on the other team who was carried up for his turn at bat and he didn't want to hit so went back to the dugout!
Caleb is playing right now in the outfield. He told us last night he wanted to play on one of the bases. We gave him a little speech that he was doing a good job in the outfield and if he wasn't there to stop those balls then D would have to go all the way out there to get them. Today he was so proud to get one of the balls and throw it in. He did a good job hitting the ball too. He got a hit both his times at bat. The first one he got out at first, and the next one he got to the base and then got home by another boy.
At the end of the game when the coach was talking to him it made me smile because the first thing out of his mouth was "okay did you all have fun?" That is so important. When we signed up, I didn't know if the coaches or parents would be too serious about the game. Thankfully that hasn't been the case. It's all been very encouraging and fun. I've really liked our coaches, and it has been a great experience for us.
The first game was so much fun. I look forward to more fun games! Go Mad Dawgs!
