Yesterday was Ben's first T-ball game! He is playing in a 3-5 year old league in Waterville, which is convenient to Sharon's house. Unfortunately, the first game was on the hottest day of the year so far (96 degrees) and Adam was held up at work and wasn't able to see Ben play. But Ben did fairly well. He really just wanted to bat and wear a helmet. He did pretty good talking and listening to the coach dads, which I was a little nervous about. The way the kids play, is there are a total of 4 teams and they rotate playing each other each week. There are no practices, just 2 inning games each week. When playing outfield, the kids line up, half on 1st and half on 2nd base. 2nd base fields the ball after it has been hit and throws it to first while the batter runs to 1st base. Each kid batters once per inning. Ben struggled with sitting on the white line and waiting his turn to bat, especially when he was last in line. Overall, he did pretty well. I think it will go better next week when Adam can hopefully be there and hopefully not be so hot. There will probably be weekly posts on this as it is rather entertaining. I am going to need to take more video of the crazy shenanigans going down at t-ball.
