Well, it's that time of year again. Xander started his second and final year of T-Ball this past weekend. He's on the purple team this year, the Wolves. They didn't bring enough t-shirts for everyone, but Xander was able to score a hat. And I couldn't help but notice how tall he was compared to most of the other kids.
The kids ran drills - throwing, hitting, running bases. Then they played a quick game - each team got a chance at bat and in the field. Xander's strength is still in batting - kid can hit a ball, especially when it's not moving, LOL!
The T-Ball kids have a hard time running the bases. Almost all of them need to be prompted to run to the next base when the new batter hits the ball. Xander had a little trouble because the batting helmets are all so big, he could barely see where he was going!
My favorite part of the day was watching Xander play first base. He got the most action there - the kids that catch the ball are supposed to throw it there, and then Xander throws it home. He's got one dramatic throw!
Next weekend they'll play a longer game, and hopefully there will be more t-shirts to around. Warmer weather sure wouldn't hurt either!
