{William's First Ball Game}

Last Saturday, the cutest lil Red Sox T ball player took on the field and had his first game. William had so much fun as his team played against the Orioles.We were all pleasantly surprised on how "organized" the game was. Going in, we thought that it'd be like herding cats. The kids were all attentive and pretty much "get" it. I believe a lot of it really had to do with the awesome coaches we have and the strong parental support across the teams. William's coaches, coach Dan and Tim are awesome! Fun but at the same time focused. Ed and a few of the other dad has been given the title of assistant coaches. Indeed they are as they help and position themselves at all the bases.

William was their team's first batter. Go William! Hit the ball out of the park!
Running to the first base as the Oriole's players try to catch and stop the ball.
Running the bases and giving high fives!
Run home! Run home!
T ball has been really fun for William. I can see him developing his confidence and patience more. One other benefit that I am seeing is that he is learning the concept of team work.
His communication skills are also improving and he's been so encouraged to make new friends at various environments.We are so proud of you William! It's not the hits, catches, or throws, but the effort and enthusiasm he puts into playing the game! (although we were tickled at his hits, catches and throws, too!) I think this is going to be a fun season.

Lil sister was definitely a proud fan. She was clapping and cheering the team. This is the sweetest thing ever --- when William was heading to the dug out, he quickly walked over to the benches and gave his baby sister a big hug and kiss.

Check out this lil video of our awesome ball player!
