Tee Ball has provided many laughs along the way. Half the team will start Kindergarden in the fall and have never played ball before. You can only image the goofs and spoofs. It was just a couple months of games. Not too long, not too short and tons of fun.
What tee ball has taught me...
1.) Stomach aches are instantly contagious and a few of the kids are in need of medical care because they get stomach aches every game.
2.) Everyone wants to be pitcher.
3.) The girls mostly get directions in parts and hardly ever complete the whole direction. For example, "pitcher when you get the ball, make the play at home." The pitcher will run to home plate without the ball.
4.) The kids love being called Hoover (as in a vacuum cleaner) when they catch the ball.
5.) Everyone wants to use the pink helmet or pink bat even if they are too big.
Most frequently asked questions when I am dugout mom...
1.) "Can I go talk to my mom?"
2.) "When do I bat?" which is followed by, "Is it my turn yet?"
3.) "Can I go to the bathroom?"
4.) "What is for snack?"
and last but not least..... 5.) "Are we almost done?"
Next week is our last game although the memories will last a life time. Alex and Maddie were to be on the same team this year. Which was great for so many reasons. Next year all three kids get to play and they will all be on different teams. This will be interesting since there are only two parents and three ball fields that you can play at each week. We will worry about that next year.
Good Game Girls!
