Go Yankees!




Today was a big day; it was the first tball game of the season. It was more like herd ball. There were several coaches and parents on the field guiding the kids in the right direction. Over all I think it went well. Jackson participated 100% of the time which is HUGE. He cried about 40%, but he did it! He loves to bat (and is very good), likes to run, and hates out field. He does not understand why he can not catch the ball every single time. All the kids run for the ball and if someone gets to it before him, he falls apart. It was a lot for the little one’s to take in. I mean really a new field, new players, screaming fans from the side line, etc. He is going to play summer ball too so hopefully each season will get better! I think he is going to pretty good once he gets the hang of it. He was the only two year old on the team when we started. He missed the cut off by 19 days and the only reason he got to play is because I got them to change his age in the system at the Y. I think we will for sure keep him at the Y one more full year before starting pony league. That was he can be the oldest one the team instead of the youngest!

Big thanks to Granny, Papa, and Uncle Josh for coming out to make him feel special and watch his first game!
