In addition to celebrating our younger nephew’s birthday over weekend, we went and saw his older brother play T-Ball. The game was three “innings” long and what a joy to watch. The enthusiasm of 5 year olds makes you smile. This week our nephew played second base. He did a great job. He has excellent hand and eye coordination and could easily throw the ball from second to first with no problem.
Before we left on Sunday, Uncle Tom was out playing ball with the nephew and a few neighborhood kids. It was so fun to watch Tom out playing with “the boys”. I hope that Tom’s love of the game carries on.

Oh yeah, Nephew #1's game was lots of fun. It was hilarious watching a bunch of five year olds tumbling after every ground ball, while the rest of the team contemplated their navels. One of the contemplators learned to at least pay attention when the ball was hit, 'cause he got beaned in the head with a thrown ball. By Nephew #1, no less! Who knew he had such good aim? :)
Relax, the kid who got beaned was fine. He didn't start crying until the coach started to make a deal of it. If noone had moved, he would have laughed about it. After all, how hard can a five year old really throw?
