This afternoon was Collin's first Tball game for his team, the Lions. They have only had one practice before this game so I had no idea what to expect. As you've read, Collin has been practicing. He does have his favorite parts of baseball - throwing and hitting the ball - but then he does not like to run the bases or catch.
Our team had the field first. Collin was on Second base. Daddy was out in the field too to help the team. They do allow one adult in the field and one at bat to help the kids bat. There were a few balls hit to Collin which he was able to stop or at least run to. He did not understand the running of the bases so he did not know to stand at the base to get a runner out. When he was up at bat, he hit the ball at his first swing. He hesitated after that not remembering he had to run. He was tagged out running to first. With this Tball league, he still got to run the rest of the bases. Next time on the field, he played first base..just like his Mommy did when she played. He did REALLY good at stopping the ball when it was thrown to him by his team members. He stood a little close to the base and on the baseline so the runners had to run around him. Next at bat, he hit the ball again but was out at first.
I was proud of him for playing the entire hour and not wanting to get off the field like some of his team mates.
