Adam at Bat

Adam had his first game last night. It was fantastic.

I tried to get a video of Adam batting, but he saw me with my phone pointed at him and just held the bat and smiled. He told the coach he couldn’t hit the ball yet because his mom needed to take a picture.

I told him in the future, if he sees me taking pictures at his t-ball game, he should just pretend I’m not there and pay attention to the game and his coaches. So maybe we’ll be able to record a hit next game.

There was a little boy on the other team that threw an epic tantrum on the first baseline, a little girl who picked the ball up and put it back on the tee after she hit it each time, and of course my kid provided some entertainment too. After his first at bat, when he made it to third, he got very concerned because he didn’t have his glove. He also was let out of the game early, because he had to go potty.

They only played three innings this game (it took about an hour and a half). I can’t wait until his next game.

T-Ball Pictures

Adam had his first t-ball game tonight. Before we went to the field I took a bunch of pictures in his uniform. My plan was to (hopefully) get a picture good enough where I won’t feel guilty about not buying the professional photos that will be taken later this week (holy expensive prints Batman).

I might try again another day, there were some shadows on his face in a few that I wasn’t happy with. I need to practice more with our camera and learn the settings better (maybe even take it off of auto once in a while).

For now though, I think we’ll be okay just ordering a copy of the team print.

Oh, and for those curious, Adam throws right-handed and bats left-handed. We weren’t sure about the throwing hand until about a month ago (he’s not bad with his left hand either), but he definitely hits better left-handed.

And his team name is not “Icky Doodles”, though he thinks it’s hilarious that the N doesn’t make an appearance in any of those photos.
