Still at first and still being coached.

Made it to second!!

We are so proud of Ricky II playing his first T-ball game. I do admit we were a little worried because hid attention span isn't more than 2 seconds and if he doesn't feel like playing than it's rough for everyone. Sometimes he just wants to be Ricky the "magician". I do have to say he did great. The coach has it where it's fair and everyone bats the same number of times and places each position at least once. Ricky first time at bat hit the ball, but wasn't really sure what to do from there so unfortunately he was out. While he was in the field dad stayed out there with him for a little bit coaching him and he did amazing. He was running after the balls and throwing them. His second time at bat he also did great. The ball flew and he ran to first - dad was at first coaching him in. While at first dad was coaching him to second. He made it to second. He did get a little confused on going to third. It's something we have to work on. Overall he did GREAT and we're very proud of him.
We did lose, but to our defense the other team seemed older and bigger. We think they were about 6 months older which at this age makes a BIG difference. There coaches had a win style ours had a lets play and have fun style. Which at this age I think is perfectly fine.
At this age they are so adorable and innocent. I can't wait till our next game!
