Here are some team pictures (that they did after sunset in the back of the field- hence horrible lighting!) from Coleman’s first baseball team. The Frogs have some sweet little boys on the team. I wish this first season had been a better experience for us, but Coleman had fun sometimes.
It was an experience. Not good or bad…probably something we hope to improve on in years to come. Something to learn from. Of course, we want our son to find something that he loves to do. We believe that being involved and passionate about something such as sports, music, art, or other extracurricular activities throughout the “growing up” years helps keep kids focused, engaged, and out of trouble. We know that Coleman loves baseball… when he throws, catches, hits, and runs with Daddy and others. However, standing in the outfield never once getting a chance at infield (to actually practice getting a ball or making a play) through 8 or 10 games and batting dead last EVERY single game while the coach’s son bats first just didn’t inspire him…or us…during this first season of t-ball! I just hope and pray he’ll give it (or another sport!) a try next season. By the middle of the season he was running and sliding into the infield from his spot in outfield on every hit…just to do something….he was bored! By the end of the season the poor boy didn’t want to go to games and we really couldn’t blame him. We hope to get on a team next year that is more about learning and less about winning- since they are 4, 5, and 6 years old. 
“What’s the score?” Fun to fun! WHO CARES?
I love his poses. On the second one I said, “Give me a mean baseball face!”
