Play Ball!!

Gooooo Braves!!!

Dalton has begun playing baseball for the season. This is his second year playing. He has moved up to a higher division this year so I was a little worried how he'd do with a lot of the kids being bigger and a little more experienced than him, but he is doing fine. He had his first game yesterday and the little guy did pretty well. I think sometimes your kids will just step up and surprise you when you're worried about them. We were worried that he wouldn't be able to hit the ball or would have trouble fielding, but he proved us wrong. This year the kids get 6 pitches from the coach and if they can't hit it, then they have to use the tee. The coach was throwing a little harder than he seemed to be throwing in practice too. Dalton ended up hitting it on about the 3rd pitch. He only was able to bat one time, but he made the most of it. He hit it to the shortstop and made it to first base, then later came around to score. Hooray!!

He swings and hits it!
