GOOOOO ROCKIES!

We Tyler decided that he was ready to try a sport this year so we chose baseball.  I told him that he could not play until he was 5 so the day after his birthday he was ready for sign-ups.  It did help that Dalton was also playing baseball and they had the opportunity to be on the same team so we went for it.  Tyler signed up for the Rockies through Hebron and enjoyed going to practice for the first couple times.  He did really well hitting the ball even from the coach’s pitches and has a pretty good aim when throwing the ball to another player or coach; however, the fielding is another issue.  Like all 5 year old ball players, there was a lot of dirt twirling, airplane pointing, arm swinging and just plain disinterest when he was stuck in the outfield. 

We were so excited for our first game (minus the fact that they chose royal purple for little boys to wear – not a popular color choice for them).  Tyler looked adorable in the uniform and he was so excited to see all the other players geared up and ready to go.  We had a successful first game and beat the other team to start our season off on the right foot.  When we were leaving, Tyler said that he had a great time and that baseball was fun.  Two days later we had another game to which Tyler exclaimed, “What?  You mean we have another game?  I thought that we just played one and then that was it.  I really didn’t know that I was signing up for so many of them.”  With 10 more games this season, the verdict is out on whether or not we will like it – regardless we will be there as part of the team.  Go Rockies!
