Tee Ball Time


Aiden started tee ball for 4-6 year olds this weekend, and as we suspected, it is as much fun (read: amusing) for the adults as it is for the kids. At this level they don't really play any games, though they are sorted into teams by shirt color... it's all drills, skill building, and learning the rules of the game. Some kids are pretty good but most are obvious beginners. I watched Aiden's group do throwing & catching drills for a good 15 minutes and I don't think I saw one kid actually catch the ball. Some good throws out there, but the catching... that is a bit harder to master. Andy helped run drills with a bunch of other parents while I got to hang out with Haley-doo in the sunshine. There are only 4 girls and 27 boys on the tee ball fields, so Haley will need to represent when she gets to be 4!

So, does Aiden plan on playing for the Red Sox, Mets, or the dreaded Yankees when he gets older? I have a feeling Haley wants him to play for the Sox.
