We have entered the tee-ball era and Daddy is thrilled! Ben has been pitching in the yard to Ethan for months and they now have begun working on field work. Ethan has been to several games with Ben and they even sit together in the living room to watch the Braves play(when Daddy is not at the game). We were hoping that his interest would transcend to the baseball field when it was his turn to play, but I think we may have set our expectations too high. I took this picture at Ethan's first practice.
A perfect example of Ethan's interest in being in the field...turned
around talking to his teammate Charlie(who by the way is in the perfect
catching position). Don't get me wrong, with a team of 3 and 4-year-olds he's certainly not the only one out there who finds it difficult to stay attentive. It is quite a sight to watch these little ones participate in their first attempt at a team sport. We have one more practice before the first game so
hopefully he will decide that he wants to follow the coach's directions, who just happens to be Daddy :-) Luckily for us, Daddy is
the assistant coach so here's to hoping that he cares more about
listening to Coach Chris than his obvious stubbornness in listening to
Daddy.
There's never a dull moment when it has to do with our first-born. He can be the sweetest and most endearing child but he truly gets a kick out of testing Mommy and Daddy's strength with his strong-willed personality.
Updates to come as the season is about to begin!
