T-Ball 2012

I've never loved sports. I'm clumsy and afraid of being hit by the ball. I was hoping that my kids wouldn't inherit my clumsiness. In an effort to help No Eye feel confident around a ball I signed her up for T-Ball this summer.
No Eye played for the Blue Jays. The first day of practice she didn't want to play because she was the only girl. When the uniforms came she was mad because she wanted a hat and a shirt with a pony NOT a boy bird. The field was near a playground and she wanted to leave and go try out the swings. She ran away every chance she had. She saw a dog, she ran for it. Grandma came to watch her game she wanted to cuddle with grandma rather then stand on her base. She would rather make friends and chat it up with the little boy playing first base then run to second. The little guy on the pitchers mound decided to sit down and eat some grass so she decided to sit down and eat grass too. She is definitely more me than Joe in this area. Or more likely I have the attention span of a three year old when it comes to sports.

This sequence of photos pretty much sums things up...






The very first time she was up to bat in a game she hit the ball and turned around and ran right into coach. If I had a video of this it would be on America's Funniest Home Videos.
