He is a lefty throwing and at bat. Once I taught him where to stand and how to hold the bat, he hits the ball really well. Getting him to run to a base after hitting the ball is a challenge. He just wants to continue to hit the ball. When he is "out in the field" catching the ball, he wants to put his glove on the ground like Coach taught him and then wait for the ball to come to a stop before going after it. At least he does go after the ball and then accurately throws the ball back.
His first game is this Saturday at 1pm. Yes, it's already time for a game. This should be entertaining. For the game, he has to wear baseball pants. The team's colors are read and white so Coach really wants the boys to wear white pants. I did get him some white pants but also got a pair of gray pants for him to wear during practice to get used to the pants.
Here he is tonight trying them on. Having a shirt tucked in was really driving him nuts so I did really good to get these pictures. He looks so grown up! The shirt is one he had. He will get his jersey on game day Saturday.
