Zachary's First Season of T-ball

Zachary's First Season of T-Ball.  

Zachary had been wanting to try t-ball since the end of last summer. T-ball season finally rolled around and we decided to sign him up on our church league so that he would possibly know other kids on the team for his first season. We also figured it would be a good place to start in case he did not care for the sport.  It turns out that he loves it.  He initially was a little nervous about the first practice since it was something new and he did not know who he was going to see.  At the end of that practice he asked why it was already over and if it could be longer. Great sign!  He was also a little anxious about the first game but once there he again enjoyed himself although it did take a couple of games for the kids to get the hang of it. Zachary's biggest strength so far is batting.  

Here are some photos of the t-ball fun so far.

High fives at each base!

Learning to get those ground balls.

First time up to bat at the first practice.  (And he smacked it a little past the pitcher).

Baseball ready at first base! Zachary also played pitcher and got two outs at home plate.
