Tyler had his first tee ball practice last night. We missed the official first one because of our trip to Montrose and then because of a miscommunication with the coach we thought we had one Tuesday night but was wrong. Talk about tears from Tyler! He was very excited to get to the field last night. Another boy came over and asked him to play catch with him and Tyler was off. Once practice started he did a great job of listening to the coach. He played some outfield, first base and then some infield. Not really a position in the infield because there were 15 kids on the field and with every bat all the kids would run to the ball to try to get it by pretty much falling on each other. Whoever ended up with the ball threw it to first base. He then hit the ball a half a dozen times which he did very well at. He also seemed less afraid of the ball by the end of practice, but he has yet to catch one. At the end of practice they got their uniforms. When he first found out he was going to on the Tigers he was a little disappointed. He wanted to be on the Cubs. However when he found out that the Tigers are his Opa's favorite team and he got his cool hat and shirt, he was very excited. We went out and got him a new metal bat and tee. He has been practicing all day and counting down the days til his first game. I can't believe I have a tee baller!
