1st T-ball Practice

We are so excited that Tball has finally started. Daddy had gone and gotten them there glove and they have been practicing but tonight we joined our team. We are the "A's".....not exactly what I call original but I guess it will work. (and yes, I do know there is a baseball team called the A's...but with living in NY I would of thought we would of gotten Mets, Yankees, etc.)

Coach C will do a great job. The coaches were a little overwhelmed with twins and said it would take em a while to get the names right. I assured them if they were wrong - the boys would let them know it. :) We first did warm ups - running around the field and jumping jacks (that was cute to watch) and some stretches. Then they practiced throwing the ball with a partner. Then 1/2 stayed in the field - and the other 1/2 came into bat. They got taught all about the bat, wearing a helmet, staying behind the fence. Each player got to swing 5 times and then run to first base and then switch to out-field. Both of them did very good. Dylan looked to be a natural and has a good swing on him. The coach was very happy to see his punch behind the bat. Cody isn't as strong but then again doesn't practice as much as Dylan will. But they had fun and it's going to be a fun season. We will practice/play games every Monday and Thursday so it's going to be a busy week.

After practice tonight, they were very anxious to see their Dad and share it all with him so we met him on his lunch at a pizza place and had a pie and they filled him in.

And because you wanted to see pictures - yes, I was the only crazy mother on the side lines taking pictures. Actually what is wrong with THEM - not me! You should be snapping away. :)

Throwing the ball with our partner.Next up, our turn at bat. Dylan ready to smack the ball. He hit them all pretty good and I bet by the end of the season is smacking em pretty far.Cody's turn at bat. He did great with it to.Dylan playing 1st base! He loved chasing the ball. I think he liked getting his pants that much more grass stained.
