It was a late decision to add on our little Simon to a tee-ball team this season with TRSLL.
He is now, officially, a Black Mamba (in a Diamondback uniform).
He missed all of the practices, his shirt is a bit too big, he's wearing Amelia's old soccer cleats, and he's never played baseball before, but I'll tell you what...this little guy is ready to play.
He'd never hit off a tee, but last night at his first game he knocked the ball through the infield.
He'd never fielded, but he chased down the ball or stopped it with his bare hand (he's not quite sure what to do with the gloved one yet), and threw it to first base saying aloud to himself "step and throw" just as we practiced a few hours before.
He wasn't sure where to run from base to base, but with a little direction from base coaches, he figured it out and ran like mad.
Watch out. Our not-quite-four-year-old is coming home.
