Hunter had his first T-ball game a few weeks ago. I'll be the first to admit Hunter really has no idea what he's doing--he can't catch a ball in his mitt, he can't hit the ball a whole lot past the pitcher's mound, and he can barely run the bases without passing out. BUT. . . he sure has fun doing it and he sure is fun to watch. There are some kids who should probably just quit little league and go straight for the big league. They are that good. They're the ones with the dads on the sidelines chewing tobacco in their baseball caps that look like they spend hours a day in the gym. Then there's Hunter. But you know what--he's got a personality bigger than life and I wouldn't trade that for all the big league baseball players in the world.
At his first game, as he stood on the pitcher's mound waiting for the opposing team to bat he just kept singing the "Charge" song, over and over again. Do-do-do-do-da-do. . . Charge!!!! Then, after he'd had his turn to bat and was standing on second base, he kept spinning pirouhettes on the base, singing "Swing batter, batter, batter" to his teammate. When they finally hit the ball and everyone started running past Hunter to third base and Home, Hunter was still in La-La land singing his chants and doing his dances on second base. But, he didn't care and neither did I. Afterall it's just T-ball and it's all about having fun which is exactly what he's doing. And you gotta admit, he sure looks good in his uniform!
P.S. Thanks to Kathy for the 3rd, 4th and 5th pics in the row above. She has a way of capturing my kids in the eye of a camera the way I see them in my own eyes. Am I lucky or what?
