The triplets signed up for T-ball with the YMCA this summer. I had never been to a t-ball game, been to a lot of soccer games but not this. It is very funny to watch them play the first game - they hit the ball off a stand and then run and try to grab the ball because, by golly it must be their ball! Then the coach grabs them, and heads them towards first base and they "run", or walk or wander towards the base with the encouragement of all their loyal fans if we aren't laughing too hard to talk. As the games progress I can see a great improvement and sometimes they even stop playing in the dirt long enough to grab the ball when they are in the outfield.
The Y had a photo contest on Facebook for the cutest picture of a child in a sport and Lily won by a landslide. The helmets are all too big on her so she is hitting the ball with the helmet over her eyes and it is very funny. Thank you to all our friends for voting for her!
I admire the coaches - they really work hard to teach the kids the skills they need and I am extremely glad there are no scores kept. :)
