This is Alex's first year playing t-ball. The three and four-year-old league is called, "Little Hitters." It is so much fun to watch this age play. The really have no clue what is going on. At practice, they spend a lot of time running the bases, IN THE CORRECT ORDER, because the kids don't even know where to go. Some just wander off to pick flowers; others yell out about needing to use the bathroom, and some just run around carrying the bat. The first practice, many didn't even know how to put the glove on their hand. So sweet. Alex likes to call the bases, "1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Last Base." He had his first game Saturday. I use the term "game" loosely because they don't keep score; everyone hits, and everyone runs all the bases. Still, it is cute for this age to figure things out.
As you can see, Alex is in the weird picture phase. I think he's making a "Safe" signal as an umpire would do :)
He has been playing first some, partly because he's a lefty. His coach is a friend of mine, and she's done a great job rotating all the kids through all the positions. If you're ever in a bad mood, watching these little kids play will certainly change that.
