Orioles T-Ball

Getting ready for catching.

Boogs was pulled back so he would not get hurt.

Orioles banquet.

1st trophy

Boogs finished his t-ball season a couple of weeks ago. Overall, it went well. He finally started to “get” baseball by the last couple of games. On March 15^th, we had a t-ball banquet. The kids were able to run around and play at a restaurant with an outdoor playscape. Boogs was very proud of his baseball trophy. Later, he told me that he wants to sign up for a lot of things so he can earn “a whole wall full of trophies and ribbons”.

So cute in his baggy uniform!

Ready to play.

Throwing the ball to 1st base.

Boogs has been having a good time playing baseball with his preschool friends. Boogs loves that his team's colors are orange and black, his favorite colors. The games are pretty funny. When a ball gets hit into the outfield, every single Orioles player runs after it. Then they all pile up on each other and fight over who gets to throw the ball. It is a good thing there is not score keeping in t-ball. Tomorrow will be his 6th game. It is going by so fast.

Boogs' 1st T-ball Practice

We signed Boogs up for t-ball with a group of kiddos from his preschool class. On the way to the field, we were talking about baseball with Boogs. He told us he only wanted to be the batter person and not anything else. He also said that you have to run to the bases after you hit the ball, "but if someone is in your way you just have to run the other direction." He had his first practice this past Saturday. It was so cute watching the 4 and 5-year-olds practice.  The coach had the kids run around the bases and yell out the base name as they stepped on it. When all the kids got to home plate, he called out a base and asked them to point to it. It was pretty funny watching them point in all different directions. It was a good practice session - stretching, running bases, catching, throwing, batting, and of course the team cheer.
