B-Mets Fall T-Ball

This fall we signed Ethan up for his second T-ball season and Chris and I decided to help out with the team. I was technically the "Team Mom" and Chris, my Dad and Coach David were coaches. I was not the typical "team Mom" and was out on the field with the boys A LOT! It was a lot of fun but a whole lot of work and time!!! This crazy group of boys was our team, missing three...

The boy on the far left was three at the beginning of the season, which gave us a challenge to keep him engaged. At the beginning of the season all he wanted to do was play Mario, but by the end he was actually having fun and doing very well. Ethan LOVES baseball. It has been fun watching him mature in baseball. From the beginning of the first season to the end of this season he has improved well....

Being the Team Mom I was also in charge of calming upset or crying kids, encouraging the boys to keep their head up, put their strong arms on and try. try. and try again to get them to pay attention to the game instead of teasing each other. Another job was planning the End of Season Party and getting the kids' awards. We just had a small picnic and luckily our sponsor, Gary Reese, paid extra for our team so that each kid and the coaches got awards and there was no out of pocket money needed! Yeah!

Look how happy that boy is.... (He takes after me sometimes and keeps his emotions inside instead of openly expressing them. We are working on this... )

Here is a good picture of all the coaches and boys. They were a fun bunch of kids, sometimes a little crazy, but I really enjoyed getting to know them each and being a part of their lives!!!

Here's to next season... Starts next month...
