Coach pitch has begun...

YAY!!! Seth is so excited about this it isn't even funny. For the past month he was been asking about when his first practice is going to be. Well, we finally got a call from the coach that practice would be Saturday at noon. Richie took Seth out after school on Friday to get him some new pants and cleats. Today has been a REALLY busy day. We got up and I got everything ready for the day, as we were going to be out all day. We loaded up into the car and headed to practice. After about 5 minutes of trying to guess which team was his we finally found it. The kids were all excited about starting the day.

This year Seth is in coach pitch/t-ball. This means that they can choose to have the coach pitch or hit from the T. If they decide to have the coach pitch, he will throw three balls and if the child can not hit them they will break out the T for them. First they did some throwing exercises and then some fielding. Finally it was batting practice. I think this is the favorite part of practice for all the kids...hahaha Grace wanted to help so she got all of Seth's gear ready for him!!
Richie and I work with Seth all the time on his practice and he was the last one to bat. He asked the coach to pitch to him and he nailed that ball...I was soooo excited for him. He had a smile on his face from ear to ear because he was the only one on the team to hit from a pitch!!!
WAY TO GO BUDDY!!! We love you!!
