Ian is on the Royal Blue team this fall in a new fall league at Liberty Rec. He is pretty new to 'all the rules of baseball' since he has only played tee ball. But he's catching on. Wednesday was his 2nd game against the yellow team (which they lost - but the yellow team had about 8 players on the team that played on the springs all star team!) Ian struck out both times up to bat, played in right/center field, and got to be the catcher for the first inning! I was so nervous for him because he has never done that before, and he doesn't know the rules to what the catcher does... and Ian's statement to the coach while he's getting the catcher's gear on is, "Um... Coach? Where does the catcher go?" I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time! Awe... he was so nervous and scared. He told me later that he was afraid the ball was going to hit him. Obviously - plus, he doesn't catch that great yet either! But he was so cute anyway, and did a great job on his first time being catcher! He definatly has the body build for a catcher, and it does keep his mind off of playing in the grass in the outfield! haha! Last week they won their first game in the rain and all (which is why there are no pictures - I don't take the camera out in the rain) But he struck out then too. He'll get better! Love you, Ian!
A swing and a miss....
Ian's first time catching. Actually, he stood right on home plate when he first got out there. A little embarassing for me as a mom, but again, it was his first time! I love that little kid!
Making a hole in the outfield with his shoes, not paying attention as usual! Last game he made a great play from outfield and got a guy out at 2nd base, so that was good! yah!
