T-ball Fun

There is nothing like watching 4 and 5 year olds playing the american past time of baseball! Kate and Becca are having a blast! At times the dirt is more interesting, but they are getting better at paying attention to the batter and the ball. It is fun to watch all the kids hoard after the ball, the one victorious emerging from the pile doing a dance because he/she got it. They are so happy they forget to throw it to first base.

While my girls are the only girls on the team, they are accepted by the boys and have made little t-ball buddies. It is fun to see them learn and grow in different ways. They are learning sportsmaship and how to have fun. They have some very patient coaches. Becca walked up to one of them and said. "Gangstas are bad." (they do look a little gangterish, after all we are on the west side) They lauged and thought she was funny. I was a little scared as to what they thought these VERY white folks teach their kids at home. So, she has learned when it is appropraite to share information with others. Fun times! Go Mets!!!
