T-Ball is OVER! We made it through the season. It wasn’t always pretty, but we all prevailed. I just went back through my blog, and we’ve been doing t-ball since the end of February! That is one long season for a 5 year old! At times, it really felt like the season that would not end.
Overall, I wouldn’t say it was a bad experience. Connor did learn a lot, and despite the tears and whining at times, he always said that he liked it at the end of the day. However, he is ready to go back to playing soccer (which makes his daddy very happy!)
In addition to getting his trophy tonight, Connor also got the game ball! To him, that was equivalent to being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Week after week, he’s watched the other kids get the game ball. I was so proud of him tonight. He had a great stop in the outfield (notice I said stop, not catch…that whole catching thing still alludes Connor.) On his first time up to bat, he had a great hit. On his second time, he tried. And tried. And tried again. The tee hit the ground or he flat out missed the ball about 10 times.
I kept waiting for the frustration or tears to come, but he just kept trying. What a little trooper! He finally got a hit and made it around the bases. His coach gave him the game ball because he never gave up and did his best. I love that.
And here’s what Logan did to entertain himself today at the game.
It’s a miracle that boy has never had to go to the emergency room. (Knock on wood) If I had allowed it, he would have climbed much higher than that. He is my crazy, fearless monkey!
Congrats on making it through the first year of T-Ball!!! That is a long haul for 5 year olds!
