I'm a Rockhound!

I'm playing t-ball and my team is the Rockhounds.  But and let me be honest, I don't like t-ball.  I hated my first practice and didn't want to go back, but Mom and Dad won't let me quit something after just one try.  Sometimes I wish they wouldn't make me try so many things.  T-ball hasn't been as bad as that first practice, but I still think it's boring.  I stand around a lot.

We had our first game last week.  We didn't win.  But we didn't lose either, because in t-ball, you don't keep score.  Everyone gets to bat one time each inning and each person runs one base at a time.

Here I am playing third base.  Can you tell it's super exciting?


It's much more fun when I get to bat and run.  I like wearing the helmet when I bat, although it feels like it's going to fall off when I run, which is why I sometimes have to slow down on my way to a base and hold it on.


Ready to run home.  Actually, I don't usually know when I'm supposed to run.  Mom just told me to get ready.  Normally, I just stand on the base until the coaches (or my parents) start yelling at me to run. 







Here's a super short video of me running home.


Maybe t-ball will get more exciting once we all get better at it.  I like my mitt, but I don't like to play catch because the ball doesn't always land in my mitt.  I really like hitting, but I only get to do that two or three times during practice or a game.  Like I said, a lot of doing nothing.  At least we've had nice weather so far for every game and practice.  And we get snacks after the game.  Go Rockhounds!
