Tball Team Pictures

Before practice today, the team got together for individual and team pictures.  I did not get a picture of Collin posing by himself with his bat because of where the camera lady was and the lighting.  I cannot wait to see the pictures to choose from because he sure was posing, smiling big and looked so cute in his uniform. 

Here is a picture of his team.  Don't they look great?

Collin is the first kid on the front row on the right

Here is one of Collin's poses during the team photo.  Can you tell that he is used to his Mommy taking his pictures?  Later when we went to Grandma H's to check on her and see the unpacking progress, he was still in his uniform and wanted me to take a picture of him with a bat that Grandma H found.  It's possibly Daddy's when he was a little boy.

During practice, Collin did much better getting in front of the ball to block it from going behind him.  They were told to be like crabs with their pinchers and grab the ball.  Collin took it seriously and dove for the ball every time.  Once he got back up, he remembered to throw it to 1st base every time.  Also during warm up, the Coach would hit balls to the kids in the field.  Once they caught the ball, they had to throw it into a bucket laying on the ground by the 1st base line.  If they made it in, they got 10 points.  Collin was one of the few kids that made it in.  The 10 points did not go to anything and fortunately, he did not remember to ask Coach or one of us later about it.  He still needs batting practice.  He was doing really good but yesterday was not as good as he has been doing.  It could be that the Coaches don't know how to position a Lefty or it's just that Collin needs to practice more.  We tried to practice earlier in the day but it was one of those whining moments...so we went back inside.  He took a nap within 30 minutes.  Should have known he was tired.
