When T-Ball came around this spring, we decided to give it a shot. We're a baseball family. We really enjoy going to the Rough Riders games here in town. We watch the Rangers when we can. We just genuinely like baseball. We thought it was worth a shot.
One of the best attributes that Landon possesses is his attention span. I know he didn't get that from me!!! Now the kid can get distracted and can forget what he is supposed to be doing, but for the most part he can focus for good length of time on something he's interested in. That's a great skill when it comes to U5 baseball!!! There is a lot of standing around. There aren't too many kids at that age that can hit the ball past the pitcher's mound!!
Anyways, we've been in practice for a little over a month now, and last weekend was Landon's first ever T-Ball game. Aunt Jerry and Uncle Woody (aka - GaGa and G-Daddy) came to watch.
I think he looks adoreable in those BAGGY baseball pants! You can't even see his socks!
Coach starts us off with a pep-talk and an "Angels on 3" before the game. I will say, we have 2 very good coaches. They are really great with the boys. Coach G has been coaching his older son's team for 5 years now, and his younger son is on our team this year. We're looking forward to many more seasons with Coach G!!
Landon starts his first game at second base. Mom couldn't be more proud!! Second base was my main position all throughout my softball days. If I wasn't at 2nd I was at shortstop. I was a strong middle-infielder!!
Landon, always in "baseball ready" position. He keeps his focus on the batter almost the whole time!!!
Waiting at Second. Notice he's watching the batter.
Landon is so much more into baseball than he ever was in soccer. Looks like we have MANY more years of long baseball seasons ahead of us!
