Tball Season Starts!

Today was Collin's first Tball game of the season.  His team is the Roadrunners (his school mascot).  He was excited to go because at least six kids from his Pre-K class are on his team.  Also, he did get to pick the number on the back of his jersey.  As the number was called out, the kids raised their hand if they wanted that number.  The numbers were called out randomly too so Collin patiently waited until #6 was called.  He raised his hand because he really wanted that one.  Why?  Because "I will be 6 for my next birthday".  He thought hard about that one.  Last year, he was #1.

We have not had a chance to practice throwing or hitting too much before the game but I thought he did a great job.  He does need to pay more attention when he is out in the field.  If the ball is not coming strait to him, he's not going to move...even to help his team mate right in front of him. 

When it was his turn up to bat, he did hit the ball on the second time and it went almost to 2nd base.  After hitting the ball, that boy ran FAST to 1st base compared to a lot of the other kids.  That's my boy.  He did hit the ball again the next time he was up to bat. 

Waiting to bat. He has his helmet on and ready to go.

First hit of the season.  That's my Lefty!

When he was not playing, he was cutting up with his friends from class.  I walked over a few times to let him know that I was watching and saw what he was doing.  That did help a little but he continued to do it a few more times because the other boys were starting it. 

They were playing "Push the team mate off the bench".
