We're about halfway through T-ball season and the Cubs are starting to get the hang of this whole baseball thing. It's so much fun watching them learn and improve, especially when it comes to fielding.
Gray seems best suited for third base or short stop so far, but he's also played outfield, catcher and "pitcher" (where you fake throwing a ball before the hitter bats off the tee). I've noticed his attention seems to wane when he's in an outfield position, but he stays focused if he's in the infield. He's also got a good arm for throwing from third base to first base.
Even though Gray wasn't initially excited to hit off the tee, he's done well learning the rest of the game which will hopefully make machine pitch more fun next year.
It's also been great getting to know other boys from Gray's school, along with the dads who volunteered to coach and the parents who come to the practices and games. I think the coaches/dads are having just as much fun as the kiddos out there. It's all very entertaining to say the least!
We had team pictures last week and I couldn't help but laugh when the boys smiled and all seemed to be missing front teeth. Gray is in the back row, third from the right.
Cash, Jude, James and Gray -- such silly little boys
