So, when McCaleb turned 2... Uncle Chad, Dolly, Austin and Bryson bought him a little baseball glove, a ball and a bat. For the most part - the bat has been used as a hammer. And... in order to save the ball from Maggie (see post below) I have had it put away in his closet until he was old enough to play.
This summer he began asking to get it out to play. I was a little hesitant at first... but it was perfect timing for all the kids. They all did really well.
McCaleb was so tickled that he was hitting almost every pitch I threw... he giggled non-stop. It was difficult to even get a picture of him that was clear.
Rachel was easier to get a picture of... as she was more in tune to where the camera was than where the ball was....
Ali totally blew my mind. She bats left-handed. Sorry for Ali... I couldn't help her much, we had to wait for Daddy to get home. For some odd reason, Tim (who is right-handed) bats left-handed. Mommy... who is left-handed... bats right-handed. BIZARRE. Just call us the backward family.
Last there was Sara. She IS left-handed... and she bats left-handed.
They all did GREAT! Everyone was able to hit more than 50% of all the pitches thrown their way. Now if we could just teach them to field their own balls. :)
I think next we need to try golf. Wouldn't they be a hoot with little clubs, in plaid shorts and little polo shirts???
