The Next Joe Mauer? :)

James just finished up his first season of t-ball - or what Mom and Papa like to call "organized chaos."  It was pretty cute to see all the kids in their over sized t-shirts and ball caps take to the field and give their all hitting the ball and running the bases each week.  In this rec program they are just working on the skills of throwing the ball, hitting off a tee and running the bases.  We as parents participate with them and try to keep the kids from fighting over fielding the ball :)

James enjoyed it and we've definitely determined through his playing this season that he's a lefty when it comes to baseball - particularly when throwing.  For hitting it seems he can switch it up (as seen below), but he seems to do better from the lefty side of the plate.

James lucked out with weather and his game nights as we had great weather all summer - can't complain about that, but perhaps the mosquitoes made up for it!  Henry got a kick out of seeing big brother play and wanted to always be in on the action.  Although he didn't get a chance to play, he did throw a ball around a lot during James' game time and got to partake in the fun treat night that we participated in twice over the course of the season.  The boys love ice cream and making messes might come in as the the second thing they love most! :)
