Jagger is a T-Ball Player!!

Jagger played his first game of T-Ball this week. It was such a big deal in our house. Jagger had been looking forward to it for weeks and counting down the days. Jimmy took off his first couple hours of work and the whole family went to cheer him on.

Even after all the excitement though, Jagger proved to be very much like his sister....not pleased to be the center of attention in a crowd! He cried the first half of the game. I had to stand on the field with him. I begged (okay bribed) him to go up to bat the first time. I even had to hold the bat with him and swing with him....pathetic! He was the last batter though and got to run all the way back home (holding his mommy's hand!). He felt very proud that he had made a "home run" and it (thankfully) changed his attitude.

During the last half he was out in the field and running for balls and throwing them to first base. And when he went up to bat, he did it himself, hit on the first try and ran all by himself. He took off the helmet though and ran with it in his hand to first base..that was cute. And he ran to me over by third when he left first and I had to send him back to second. Not exactly a pro...but still the cutest little slugger I have ever seen!



Hanging out on first base with our friend Bill.

Here he is coming into second from the wrong way...hahahha!!

Third base coach pointing how to get back home so as not to have a repeat of the lost base!

Running home and then to give his coach a high five.

Giving the other team high fives for a fun game.
