While festering in my own pity juices today, I got to go and watch my son practice baseball. This is the first year he has played in a league, and we're very excited for him. Today was his second practice ever. Of course, he has never played baseball. We have all thrown the ball outside now and then.. he gets that part. But we really had to restrain our laughter as he tried to figure out what the coach meant by, "Run to 1st base!" ..huh?? "Stand at bat"... wuh? SOOOOO funny. He is very active, but as with most monkeys he just climbs around outside in the trees or rides his bike. So, they finally got to hit the ball today. He didn't do too badly, it only took about 8 swings and then.. WHACK!! The hilarious part was watching him run like a mad man towards first base.. swinging the bat!! My husband was laughing so hard he almost fell off the little wooden bench. The coach is chasing him, "Drop the bat!!".. the other coach running to intercept.. trying to avoid any injury to the poor kid standing petrified on 1st base. FUN!!!!!!! I love it. These are definitely the good times :)
Will there be drug tests in little league??? :) These photos were taken in 2000.
