Just Playin' some T-Ball

Hayden decided he would like to try T-Ball out this Fall. We bought him a little T-Ball set and started practicing with him. It's funny how at that age when you say, "Run to the base!" They run to whatever base they want. Hayden picked up the sport very quickly, though. His first game was the cutest thing I've seen, and of course, I forgot my camera! Hayden stood in the outfield on 3rd base with his mit in the air, just waiting for the ball to land in it. Now, when he's playing outfield, he crouches down with his arms on his legs and waits for the ball. He is quite the hitter, too. His coach is pitching to him now, instead of Hayden using the "T". He runs his little heart out to each of the bases, and then he slides into home! Yes, he slides. It's so dang cute. The best thing about T-Ball is every kid gets their time to shine when hitting the ball; and in T-Ball NO ONE gets out, and everyone gets to run home. It has been fun to see him learn this new sport. He always tells me, "Mom, I can run so much faster when you are cheering for me." I must be cheering pretty loud because, in my opinion, he's the best player out there!
