T-Ball

It's happened. Our (Kaleb's) first t-ball practice.... He is so much happier playing t-ball than he was with soccer. I hope his fire for it stays lit. We are trying to encourage him and "play" ball with him to keep it fun. Yesterday was his first practice. His bus driver for school is his coach and most of the team is made up of his kindergarten classmates. He certainly feels more comfy this year. Can I say it again....spring in the mtns......so it was windy and COLD for practice. We were way under dressed standing around. Kaleb is still learning when and where to run...so he was very proud of himself to stand on 1st base....he forgot to run to the next ones.
Klara was seeking refuge by these doors. It made a lovely wind block. She took her water and sat there most of the time. However, she did have fun on the steps (left side) and the dirt hill.
During practice the 2 coaches split the team..some practiced batting and the other group (here) practice fielding the ball and throwing it. Kaleb needs to learn to get down on the ball....like Spiderman. He also needs to work on throwing the ball faster.....like the ball is a time bomb about to explode. Lastly, we still need to work on running and not mosey....be more like Dash on Incredibles. After his "talk" with the superheros...he politely asks me to remind him of this at his next practice.
Great follow thru. He was nailing that ball! We have practice twice a week and 12 games...mostly by our house and within walking distance. His first game will be in 2 weeks and more pics to come then.
