Tball

After last falls soccer fiasco I thought Kallon would be done with sports for awhile, not so. He overheard Cory and I talking about t-ball and whether or not we should sign him up and right there he decided he wanted to play t-ball. I asked Kallon if he even knew what t-ball was and of course he said "no, well I think so but I want to do it." When we found out he could be on a team with his church buddies we decided give it a try. Kallon's team are the Redsox. He has had three games and so far it seems to be going well. There are two problems 1) the dirt in outfield is just so enticing to Kallon he cannot keep his hands out of it, thus not paying attention to what is going on in the game. 2) He is an instigator of bad behavior on the field. Kallon will take his mitt off and throw it into the air. The other kids around him see how cool it is and start doing it too. Then soon half the team has their mitts off throwing them into the air while they are supposed to be getting the ball. I pretend I don't know whats going on and mutter under my breath "whose kid is that out there?" Other than those two things it has been much less painful than soccer was and actually it is turning out to be really fun to watch him play. He is doing well and having fun. He gets to play pitcher quite a bit and does really well. He pitches gets the ball back and throws it right to first base. If they were to keep score Kallon would have his fair share of outs! He is pretty good at batting too. Most of the kids will hit the ball and watch it to see where it goes and then take off running the wrong direction. Kallon steps up there hits the ground with his bat a few times and hits the ball. After his hit he throws the bat behind him(thank goodness for the fence or the bat would be in the stands), and takes off running to first base. Kallon also loves to slide into home base. When I asked him what his favorite thing about t-ball was he said, "that I get to get all dirty and run around because its part of the game." I am so glad we found something he is interested in and can focus (mostly) his attention on and get some of his energy out. That kid is non-stop, he is wearing me out and he is only four!!

I love their little uniforms


Up to bat


After sliding into home base he likes to hang out and PLAY IN THE DIRT!!! AHH!
