Aidan's first year in T-ball

Aidan is playing T-ball this year on a team called the Rockhounds!! He is having a ball. He amazes us each time he throws the ball at how good his little arm is. I think I have a future Mariners on our hands. He can hit the heck out of the ball as well. He constantly is asking when we can go to the next practice and wishes he still had practices twice a week. Before games started, they held practices 2 times a week but the league only allows T-ballers (as far as I know) to hold 1 practice and 1 game a week for a total of 2 events. I think its perfect for the little guys.


Aidan has made new friends on the team that are also at Einstein. It's fun! John has been home on Wednesday's for the most part so he leaves me home and he and the kids go to practice (at Aidan's school). It's a little time for me to decompress, start the crockpot if needed, prep dinner, or just veg. I usually feel badly vegging and do laundry or dishes or pick up. Something productive. I usually join the kids at practice about 40 min before its over. Brookie does really good at sitting on the side of the field and just hanging out having snacks or reading a book or watching the practice. Sometimes she even plays on the equipment. John has been helping with practice each week he has off and he is LOVING it!!


John said he would coach if he could be off by a certain time each day. But since he can't and it varies day to day that he works he helps when he can. We have definitely had a few "proud parent" moments. When Aidan does something that we have never shown him or throws the ball super accurately or whatever we are definitely proud. We have fun arguments over who he got that skill from.

We definitely have a little athlete on our hands!! Can't wait to see how much he improves between now and the end of the season! I will definitely be signing the little man up for T-ball camp this summer!! Go Rockhounds!
