Take me out to the ballgame!!

Spring time is here and we are in full swing with soccer and tball.  This is Kinson's first season to play tball.  It started out a little rough--Kinson is not a fan of batting helmets (plus he has a HUGE head!!), he is not a fan of authority (i.e. coaches!), and he is not a fan of standing in one spot for longer than 30seconds!!And we still thought that this might be a good idea.  The first game was DISASTER!!  I forgot my memory card in my camera plus my other child was running around eating french fries that kids were dropping under the bleachers, so no pictures :(  It ended in Kinson back talking the coach and being put in the dugout-- needless to say Bear said he wasn't coming back to another game.  Well after having to call coaches and apologize and having his Wii taken away for the next few days, Kinson decided it was a better idea to at least try and listen.  So this is game #2........

Kinson does great hitting and running the bases-- Not to mention he has a pretty cute coach :)

I was never a softball player but I might agree with Kinson that playing in the field can get kind of boring.  Especially this age, the ball goes about 20ft from the plate.  He got to play pitcher for an inning, he did much better being part of the action! Ha!

Coach Tye trying to get Kinson to be ready for the ball and pay attention.

Running home.  Loving that he sticks his tongue out!!

These games are so cute to watch and it really brings tears to my eyes to watch them play.  They are so excited to hit the ball and run the bases.  This year the league allowed 3 year olds to play so Kinson is not actually the youngest or smallest.  It is amazing how early they are starting kids in sports now.  It seems if you wait until 5 or 6, then the kids are already behind.  So we will see how the next few weeks go!
