L's experience in t-ball has been most comical to me. I realize that all the kids are 3, 4, or 5, but it doesn't lessen the humor. At practices, the coaches have learned to make the kids run the bases about three times before starting because they are hyperactive/excited to be there with their teammates. L's throwing needs improvement - it goes about 10 feet and in the opposite direction she needs to throw it. She's gotten to the point that she practically runs to the place where she wants to throw it (e.g. first base), and then throws it. Her hitting is better, but she has problems holding the bat up properly before swinging. Sometimes, she swings, misses, does a 360, and then hits the ball on the turn around. Ha! Running bases, though, is my favorite: she either skips or gallops to wherever she needs to go, and does so at the most lackadaisical pace. Most of the time, the ball beats her to the base, but she doesn't seem to mind at all - she greets the baseman with a smile, tries to hold his hand, and then sings to everyone around.
I'm so glad she's having a good time doing this, but I wonder what she'd do if the team was more serious? :p
