First TBall Practice

On a blustery day in March the boys started Tball. Unfortunately, their very disappointed dad had to work so I was charged with taking the camera and recording every precious moment.
Here are the warmups:

...I'm sure warmups aren't supposed to be "cute" but it was so darling watching all the 5 year olds follow the coach across the field with big strides, hops, prancing (I don't think the coach was prancing but some of the 5 year olds were, mine included).

Here is batting practice:

Both boys made homeruns. The fact that a couple bases were inadvertantly missed was glossed over. They were both VERY thrilled with their homeruns and VERY VERY upset when they found out in tball games only the last batter of the inning gets to make a homerun. The rest have to stop at first base. Life isn't fair for us competitive folk when they make sports "fair" for all players.


The video shows all the rest of the details. Please excuse the whiny baby in the background - it was cold and windy and I felt like whining too. The accompanying song was chosen because all the other kids go to our neighborhood school and it took the coach about 5 minutes to understand that they are in kindergarten this year but homeschooled. In my boys' 5 yr old confused and confusing explanations, he drew every other possible conclusion first. To his credit he pursued the puzzle rather than saying Whatever.
