t-ball time

This morning, Logan had his first long-awaited t-ball practice.  We signed up last fall and he's had to wait all of this time.   I swear he's asked me at least 4 times a week since last November if it was time to play t-ball yet.

Team assignments were last week, and he got onto the team we were hoping for.  Its comprised of 13 boys, ages 4 - 5, who will all start kindergarten at his same elementary school next fall.   This is awesome because he'll get to know a lot of the boys who he'll go to school with, and we can meet more of the parents too.  My good friend Stephanies' husband Craig is our coach, and they have a Dylan and a Logan too -- two boys the same ages as our Dylan and Logan.  We've been friends for years and share the trials and tribulations of raising boys. 

The team divided up today and practiced batting and catching. I was proud of how well Logan did.  He is the youngest boy on the team, but he listened well to the coach, waiting his turn every time, and gave it his best shot.  He has great hand-eye coordination and I'm excited to see him develop his skills thru the season.

In two weeks, we'll have our little league opening day.  Its a big event, and Andrew and I have volunteered to make the team banner.

Go Blue Claws!

He's #2!

batter up!

Dylan wasn't interested in playing baseball, and he's really not into soccer either.  So today, another first. We've signed him up for the local swim team, the Lightning.  Practice will be starting at the end of May with meets thru June and July.  He's a great swimmer, this will be the perfect team sport for him.

Its going to be a busy spring and summer, but all exciting fun.
