Pearl had her last Tball game tonight. Full details on my daily blog.
Cole, aka Assistant Coach, always does warm-up batting before getting kicked off the field when the game starts. He is so funny! He clenches his teeth, squats down, stares intently at the balls, holds this stance for 30 seconds, and then WACK! The kid is seriously as good as anyone on the team!
My mom and dad drove down to surprise us all! I didn't think they were going to make it. Pearl was able to have all four of her grandparents and Aunt Kimmy come to one of her games this season. A big thanks to our family for all their support. Pearl (and Cole) loved having them at the games.
Every time it was our team's turn to bat, Jeff would line up the kids in numerical order. The last kid was the "home run" hitter. He was lucky if the kids stayed put like this for more than three minutes. My job at the games was to get the next batter suited up and ready to go.
Pearl improved a lot this season. She could usually hit the ball coach's pitch style rather than using the tee.
The after-game cheer. And the kids attempting to tackle Jeff. It became the kids' favorite part of the entire game! One game, the entire other team joined in the tackling... with one mom yelling, "That's not your coach!"
Trophies for a season well-played! Pearl kept telling us she wanted to show Uncle Kurtis her trophy.
Pearl told us today that after Tball, she's going to take swimming and then ballet. We're hoping to distract her with soccer instead of dance again but I'm afraid we might lose that battle.
