Thad’s First T-ball Game

Watching our boys grow is so rewarding, and days like today are like icing on the cake. Thad has had two t-ball practices and although none of the kids are truly sure about what’s going on, it is so adorable to watch them figure it out. Watching Thad learn how to bat and figure out the best way to catch a ball is so fun.

Thad is still practicing stepping forward with his opposite foot when he throws and breaking his wrist when he bats, but he gives it his best at practice and it paid off for his first game.

He was so excited to get on the field and one of the few children to be watching and paying attention to the batters. I don’t think he ever got a ball (we need to work on speed), but he sure knew what was up and ran for that ball every time.

The game started right before Wes’ naptime and he was kind of a terror-

He entertained himself a little here and there, but luckily he has the best dad around…

Who chased him everywhere and watched the game with him from every different angle.
My boys are lucky, but I think I’m luckier.

After the game I asked him what his favorite part was and he said batting. I wasn’t surprised.
He did such a good job and got it on the first swing both times he was up to bat!

We sure are proud of our little slugger and can’t wait to see his growth in the things he loves over the years.

Now isn’t that a good lookin’ ball player?!

“GOOOOOOOOO Red Wings!!!”
