Baseball

Pictures will follow but for now I'll just tell you about it. Both Isabelle and Jack are on baseball teams (t-ball) this summer. Isabelle plays for the Rangers and Jack for the Red Sox. Isabelle practices twice per week and Jack only once. We are having a blast.

After the first practice we went out and bought batting helments, bats, cleats, baseball pants and socks, etc. Christopher wanted Isabelle to be the princess of baseball since she's the only girl so she got cleats that were puffpainted pink (pink ones at the store are expensive), a pink helment, a pink bat, a pink glove, etc. Everything is pink. Her teammates all have a crush on her which is really cute, they all want to stand next to her, do what she does, wait for her to take a turn, etc. She is learning fast and doing pretty well in the outfield she plays left-center or first base, she is still working on batting from a tee.

Jack's team is hilarious to watch, oh what a difference a year makes, the 4 year olds don't even understand the game yet. Jack is playing 1st base, he does pretty well chasing the balls that get thrown to him. There were as many parents as kids on the field, each standing behind a kid (not necessarily their own) trying to guide them about when to play and when to stand still. He bats pretty well though. He hits straight and clear, he just needs to put some more muscle into it and he'll be a fabulous hitter.

Between those three practices each week and Christophers softball games we are pretty busy. We are having a blast. Since Christopher is out of school baseball seems to be the biggest thing in our lives right now. Games start the week of the 13th. Wish them luck and I promise to post some pictures of the games. Maybe Eva and I should find teams to play on?
