Tee Ball!!

On Wednesday James started Tee Ball through the city! I was so excited for him to start his first sport ever! I was also nervous that he wouldn't want to play! He was really excited though when I told him he would meet new friends. He LOVES his friends! It was so cute! It is 3-5 year old kids so I was a little nervous about James being 3 and not in school yet, how he would do with older kids. He did pretty well.
When they first got there they all got into a circle and and spread out. Craig got there a few minutes late and when James saw him he was so excited waving and mouthing to Craig that he was playing tee ball!

Spreading out?? Not James, he stood on top of the boy next to him. NO boundaries, he was totally in this kid's space. James would not leave him alone!

Stretching...the easiest way to get to your foot! Smart kid!

"I do".

Getting his wiffle ball.

Trying to step forward

Checking out the shoes on the kid next to him while he was waiting for his turn!

Coach teaching James how to throw a ball by making a "L" with his arm.

And stepping forward with his opposite foot...very difficult!

And he throws it!!

Running bases

Standing on the base

Group talk

YEAH TEAM!!

James loved tee ball and making new friends! We can't wait for practice every week! It makes me very excited for him to start school! He is such a social guy that I think he will have so much fun in school!
