1st T-ball game!!

We had Tyson's first T-ball game today. And of course we could not begin the day without a fight. I bought Tyson these lovely cleats, will he wear them? Heck no! He did wear the uniform and hat so I didn't push the issue too much. They don't require the kids to wear cleats but I want him to be the best little t-baller he can be so of course he HAS to have all the proper equipment. I decided to have a few pictures of Taylor before I get into the recount of Tyson's first game. Taylor loved crawling in the grass. The kids don't hit far so all the parents sit in the outfield to cheer the kids on.
Taylor is a food hound. If there is food she will find it. The poor people next to us. She
kept crawling right over and trying to steal theirs. (Don't I look like such a good Mom having all those wonderful things to eat in our bag? Should I mention the See's candy in the side pocket? Nah.)

Before the big game I had to beg and plead for this picture.

Coach going over "the rules" before the game.

Here is Daddy giving Tyson some hitting and running advice. The running was a real issue.

Here is coach talking Tyson up before he bats.

Always fixing the hands.

Look at that HIT! Isn't he GREAT?!!!

And then the problems start. Everyone shouting what to do, the poor kid doesn't know where to go.

We finally got him down to first. The boy WILL NOT under ANY circumstances run.
Three innings, Mommy screaming like a banshee, nothing faster than a stroll to the bases.

Tyson and his best good friend on second.

Making it slowly, ever slowly to third.

Getting all the way home was painful. But he did do it and of course was VERY proud. Each of the Dads that helped on the bases would give him high fives when he finally got there. It got so bad even the other team was screaming for Tyson to run and the other team's coaches as well as our own were trying to get this boy to move! Priceless!

Isn't this the cutest picture ever?!? Serious ballers waiting their turn to play!

I love how cute the coach is with the boys.

The coach tells the boys baseball positions and has them squat with their hands on their knees. As you can see Tyson doesn't quite get it yet.

He did do it one time and I was lucky enough to catch it on film. The only problem was it wasn't time for baseball positions, as you can see from the rest of the team.

You gotta love when they use their mitts for shade.

Several times we had to tell Tyson to turn around and pay attention.

He is not too good at listening to us and took a hit to the leg from a batted ball. He didn't cry or anything which was good, he was more bothered by it really.

They do high fives to the other team at the end, too cute!

Tyson's uniform was in mint condition due to the no running and no catching, but it couldn't last through snack time. Dang you Doritos, Dang you!

We figured out that Tyson is the youngest kid on the team, coupled with his shyness business we have our work cut out for us this season! Oh I love my little T-baller!
