I have to admit that I am not out of the t-ball mentality yet. I laugh continually and am not yet feeling any competitiveness, much to the other parents' dismay. I do not yell at my girls to "make 'em pitch to you" or "throw the ball" or "swing level". I laugh. A lot. When Grace picks flowers and dances in the outfield, I laugh. When Sophie does gymnastics salutes and poses each time she sees the camera aimed on her, I laugh. Is there something wrong with me? ;-)
Here is Grace in full defense mode. Why does she have her hands over her ears, you ask? I don't know. That MUST be some sort of very fancy outfield defensive move.
And Sophie noticing that I was taking yet another picture. See how talented she is? She can stop in mid-play to pose for me. She doesn't even need to watch the ball. Remarkable!
Sophie scoring! She thought she made a home run just because she ran to home plate (which she happens to call fourth base).
And Grace in a VERY professional stance. Notice the score? We won. By a lot. And it was all due to the magnificent playing abilities of my girls. HA
But we definitely have fun and, really, that's what it's all about. Right? :-)
