T ball and gymnastics!

T Ball started earlier this summer but 1/3 of the season has been cancelled due to the daily thundershowers we've been getting this summer! Bummer! Sydney actually took to the sport very well - she was a little confused at first - how to hold a glove, throw the ball, throwing to first base.... But she hits very well and of course they all understand how to RUN! It's funny - after a ball is in play each kids parents are screaming to their child what to do. You hear a melody of

"go to first base" "get the ball" "run home"

"nice hit" "run to third" "go go go go go"

It's crazy! Luckily the kids just tune us out and seem to have fun. The games are 3 innings, each kid gets a turn to bat and then you change sides. The games should really only be 2 innings, by the 3rd all these 4 year olds are OVER IT!

* She is one of the only girls that will actually wear the hat! Such a tomboy! *

* Tapping home plate, yup that is a pink bat! *

* Doing her best to "field" *

* Is her checking her out? *

* She is C-U-T-E! *

Sydney's team is 7 girls and 1 boy! Which is really funny to me because her gymnastics class is 9 boys and 1 girl. Can someone say irony?

I signed her up for gymnastics 10 weeks ago and just extended her for a least 1 more month. We go to The Little Gym in Lone Tree - class name is Giggle Worms. It's been great for Sydney to burn off some energy and learn how to do new things. Her skills are really building and I know she'll be doing back handsprings soon! The teachers are really sweet and the weekly theme has been a fun way for the kids to engage. I don't have many pictures -- sorry.

So that is the latest for now. T ball wraps up next week, I ordered the team trophies and we will have a pizza party for them. Her first trophy, ahhhhhh! Next up soccer!
