Wee Ball. 2012

.....

Reid's second season of "Wee Ball" has came and gone. This year instead of playing in Seminole, we played with the Shawnee YMCA. Reid was much more "into the game" this year. He couldn't wait each week for game day and took his baseball very seriously. Jeb and Reid would practice almost every evening in the backyard. He'd much rather practice his hitting, but every now and then Jeb would get him to squeeze in some grounders. We didn't know any of the other kids on Reid's team, which actually turned out to be a good thing. Because he didn't know any of the kids, he didn't have anyone that he could tackle on the field or "fight" over the ball. It also helped him to stay a little more focused on the actual game.

.....

Each time Reid would get on base, he would give us a "thumbs up." He is really good at hitting the ball, although he still prefers for Jeb to throw the ball to him instead of hitting off of the tee. We told him that he still had a couple more years before he would be able to play coach pitch!

.....

Each time he would run to a base he would have to "hop" onto it! It was really cute!

Little Miss dressed herself for this game! She wanted to wear tall socks like her brother's baseball socks, and I thought these lace ones were just adorable!

Fielding still isn't our best skill, but he definitely has improved since last year! He's great at throwing the ball - and with accuracy - but sometimes getting the ball into his glove is quite the challenge!

.....

At least he looks like he knows what he's doing!

.....

I tried to take a picture of the two of them together after his first game and this was the best that I could get!

.....

The best part about baseball games...SNACKS!

.....

.....

One of Reid's favorite things to do was to slide home. He practiced, and practiced, and finally he got the hang of it.

Kisses for his sissy!

Jeb helped coach the team. Jeb is so great at working with kids. He has an incredible amount of patience and has a special way of making "buddies" with all of the little ones.

.....

FACE OFF - After I took this picture I realized that these two had been sticking their tongues out at each other!
