Baseball!

I finally got some pictures tonight of Cooper's playing baseball.  Our practices have been starting at 6 p.m. and the lighting has just been too bad to get any decent pictures.  After being harassed my my father about the lack of photographs of his grandson playing ball, I remembered the camera tonight.  I have to say that if you need something to make your soul smile, T-ball will do it.  I love everything about it but mostly that the kids have no idea what is really going on.  They are not competitive yet and are playing just for the fun of it.  No body gets mad when they get out or miss the ball.  In fact, it seems the best part for them is chasing down the wild throws that allow more running around time.  Oh and the dirt, glorious dirt.  It seems Cooper likes a clean base because he will spend several minutes cleaning all the dirt off the bag while he waits for the next batter.  He was most excited tonight because he got part of his uniform - his socks.  His bright egg yolk colored socks.  His giant bright egg yolk colored socks!  He cannot wait to put them on but I told him he had to wait until his game.  His team this year is the Athletics (the A's) and our colors are the traditional deep green and golden yellow.  His first game is in a couple of weeks and we all cannot wait. 

Enjoy the photos Pawpaw.

Hmmm....Do I have time to clean off the base?
