Anna at T-Ball

Truth be told, I had reservations about Anna playing T-Ball.  I imagined there would be a lot of resistance to going, wearing a uniform, doing what the coach said etc.  Most Saturdays (when we have T-Ball) she will whine and tell me she doesn't want to go to T-Ball, but once we get there she does great.  She jumps right in and participates and does everything the coaches ask.  I have been pleasantly surprised.  Here she is playing pitcher with the coach.  She did a good job fielding the ball and throwing it to first base.  Good job Anna!!

 Here she is in line to bat (she is second in line here with her pink mitt).

 Here's Anna at bat.  She does a good job hitting the ball off the tee.

And she always does a great job running the bases.  Sometimes kids that age get confused about where or when to run, or they try to run after the ball after hitting it, but Anna knows all about base running.  Hooray!  Here she is running into home.  So Anna has been doing great at T-Ball.  I thought she would have an even better time playing soccer in the fall, but she has already told me she doesn't want to play soccer.  :(

Matthew likes T-Ball also and does a good job.  His T-Ball team is a bit more competitive than Anna's, but he 's still enjoying it and having a good time.  And Matthew says he wants to play soccer in the fall, which I was also unsure about since he has not enjoyed playing soccer in the past.  So we'll see how it goes.  :)
