Ready for their first game!
First Bat
Playing 3rd base
Waiting to bat (my FAV!!!)
Well, after a few weeks of practice and MUCH anticipation, Daniel's first ever baseball game finally arrived. He was super excited about it & looked super cute in his uniform. In fact, there just about isn't anything cuter!! He played an overall great game. His one big mistake happened on his first time to bat. He got a great hit that ended up being a triple. The only problem was that he missed tagging second base & was called out. He had no idea & was so, so pitiful when the umpire called him out. Such heartbreak!! He recovered quickly though & didn't miss another base......probably never will again! Ha! Big Daddy & Nanna came to cheer him on and I failed to get a picture of them....sorry! And I have to say how proud I am of 'Coach Dan' too, who is so great with the boys. He has the gift of being able to instruct and encourage at the same time. I also love that he understands that he is dealing with 5/6 year olds and wants above all elso for them to have fun while learning the game of baseball (unlike lots of other coaches). The Rangers didn't get a win this game, but played great none the less. This was just the first of many games. We will definitely be living at the ball park for the next several weeks!
