4 - year old t-ball!

I signed Devon up for t-ball this year and boy has this been fun!  I think 4-year old t-ball is definitely a must for our next two boys!  Here are some of my favorite things from t-ball:

1.  Every time Devon does something other than play in the dirt or grass - like run to get a ball, or bat - I call out to him and give him the 'thumbs up'.  He smiles proudly and gives me a big 'thumbs up' right back!

2.  Devon does not lack for confidence out there on the field - whenever he walks up to the plate to hit it is all business - he has a look on his face that says he's trying not to smile but he's pretty proud when he hears me call out his name!

3.  We get to have conversations about how fast Devon can run around the bases - I tell him I can't even see him because he runs so fast and all I see is the dust behind him.  He likes these conversations, too:)!

4.  Since Devon turned 4 just before the deadline he is one of the smallest kids out there - and he thinks he's pretty good!

5.  The uniforms are the best!  They have jerseys, hats, and cute little baseball pants with a belt!

6.  The batting helmets are huge - Devon can barely keep it on as he's running around the bases holding on with two hands!

Of course he isn't playing in the dirt - this is just after he made a diving catch and threw a line drive to first base to get the runner out:)!

Watch Out!

"Ready position" - it's a good thing most of those little kids couldn't hit the ball too hard - I was always a little nervous that while Devon was in "ready position" that a ball would come straight for him!
