Batter Up!!

Ryan and Jonathan are playing tee ball this summer. They have loved it! Ryan keeps telling me that it is his favorite sport. They play very well. It is very fun to watch them. Yesterday the boys had a game. Ryan and Jonathan were playing tee ball's version of a short-stop (several children standing in front of the pitcher's mound to catch the balls that come to them). Ryan stopped a grounder that came to him and then threw the ball to third base which got someone from the other team out. My favorite part of the whole game was watching Jonathan excitedly run over to Ryan, slap him a high-five tell him good job, and then run back over to his position. Just a sweet "Mommy Moment". I wish I had gotten that on camera... :) Taking a break in the dug out.
