T-BALL!!

We had Kristians first T-Ball game on Saturday, May 8th! The previous 2 practices didn't go so well because Kristian was nervous and unsure of things and therefore didn't participate in the practices. I was nervous to see if he'd join the kids and actually play in the game...

We got to the park early to watch some of the other kids play. I really think this helped warm him up to the idea and get him excited to play.

Here are the "TIGERS" waiting for their turn to bat...

Here is Kristian hitting the ball for the first time in his T-Ball career. I'm excited to see that he can bat both left and right handed. This is a skill I think we'll have to nurture if he chooses to continue to play baseball as he gets older. He has shown no favoritism to right or left so far when it comes to sports, so maybe we can teach him to use both sides equally. It would be a great advantage for him.

Here is Kristian as he runs into 3rd base! It was so much fun to see the chaos of the little kids who were trying so hard, but didn't really know what in the world they were doing.

Here he is with his after-game treats. He was so excited and had such a fun time!! I am so proud of him for being so brave and trying something new.

The cutest little T-Ball Player on the team!!
