Tee-Ball Time!

AJ had his first tee-ball practice this week! It was so adorable! I always love watching little kids sports, but it was even more fun seeing my own little cutie out there.

It is a six week class put on by the city parks program. Long Beach has one of the best park programs in the nation. The teachers are great - they are natural with kids and make it a really fun class. It's an intro class for ages 3-5... It was the only one that I could fit in our schedule this season and I really wanted to get AJ started in some kind of sports activity.

The first class had big lessons such as "this is 1st base" and "here's how you throw a ball"... etc. It was so adorable to see these little kids try it out for the first time.

AJ hit the ball perfectly and made it all the way to the home plate. Then he played the pitcher position (although there's no pitching in tee-ball) and was great at getting the ball... perhaps a little too great :).

His big lessons of the day were: let others get the ball too, cover your position rather than running around the whole field chasing the ball, and to pay attention while the teachers are teaching!

Here are some pics:

Made it to first base!

Looking forward to watching some more!
