Opening Day

We've entered the season of baseball. It's a season I love. Living in Atlanta during the Braves big championship days was thrilling and it inspired my love of baseball. I must admit I'm a fair-weather fan nowadays but watching an occasional game on tv or live is still so much fun. We took the kids to a local minor league game last summer when we first moved here and they loved it. (H) was only 4 at the time but he was really trying to figure out the mechanics of the game. He played tball last year and struggled. This year, he is way into sports. For his birthday he received a soccer ball, 2 baseball bats, a baseball glove, and a basketball goal. He would happily sign-up to play all of these, but we only have time and money to let them choose 1 activity a season, so he chose tball. And he ROCKS! He is loving it and it's so fun to watch his skills and interest develop.
Last week was opening day and so that all the teams could play that day, his team was selected to play a double header. It was fun and they were so tired but (H) kept his energy up right til the end of the 3 hours of playing. We have a big break from practices and games during Spring Break week, but I'm so looking forward to the next few months of ball season!
