Jeter's playin for the Red Sox?

It was just a little ironic that when we signed Jeter up for t-ball this year, they put him on the Red Sox team. I'm pretty sure that whoever made up the teams thought that they were being pretty funny. Oh well, I guess that's what we get.

He gets to play though, and we're all so excited for that. He's too young to play any other sport here right now, and he definitely needs something. So Jeter playin for the Red Sox is gonna have to fly.

Jete's 1st t-ball game

Ooh, check out his intensity!

Little Jeter man up to bat!

What?!!! And he's stealing 2nd folks! Look at him go!

Ok, there's not really stealing in t-ball, but it looks like he is. Love this pic.




He stops on 3rd to pose for the camera.

Playin 2nd base.

(It was kinda funny they had him playing 2nd. That's the position me and Had both played in high school.)

Jerzi cried a bunch of times during the game. She kept saying to me that she wanted to go hit the ball too. Aww, made me so proud! HAHA She calmed down after she discovered the announcer's box though. She loved to climb up there and play in it.

(She picked out her own outfit this day, which I normally don't let her do. But she was freakin out cuz she wanted to wear a jersey too, cuz Jete was. And of course she had to wear a hat too. Even though her entire apparel came out of Jete's closet, I figured oh well, I'm probs the only one that cares anyway.)

My little tomboy

Good game Rays! Neither of us got anybody out. :)

Hangin out with his new friends after the game.

These three boys are faster than any of the other kids on the team, and are all very competitive. The coach always has these three race each other in practice. It's so interesting to watch how these 3 just gravitated towards each other, and see them become friends based on that.

My favorite pic!

Huh?.........

"Mom!!! We get treats after the game! Are these really mine? Do I get to eat these myself?"

Yes Jete, it's all yours.

"This is so cool!!!"

Look who won the game ball!

My thoughts on t-ball so far:

I was super excited for him to play. Then I accidentally signed myself up to be the team mom, so that took away a little of the excitement for me. The league is intense, and serious, which is a good thing, I guess. They have games and practices like 3 times a week. But the coach gets mad at the kids for playing in the dirt, won't let them be by their friends cuz they'll talk too much, and expects them to know everything already. Jete is having fun most of the time though, and is showing us that he is coachable, so it's all good. I'm a little sad that nothing too funny has happened yet. It's too serious for that. I remember hearing lots of people's funny stories about their kids in t-ball. Mainly my sister's.....I start to laugh just thinking about them. I'm pretty sure we won't get to experience those kinds of things, but oh well. I think Jete is having fun (mostly) and Jerzi is starting to love sports too! Life is good.

Go Sox!
