Tee Ball

Well Conner Man started Tee Ball last week. We decided that since his collar bone didn't seem to be bothering him that bad we'd take him and see how much he could participate. He's on a team with his cousin Chase and a friends nephew Michael. He ended up being able to do just about everything. Since it's his throwing hand that he can't use he "catches" the ball with his left hand then takes off his glove and throws with his left hand as well. He can kind of swing the bat on handed too. It's pretty cute.

His team name is the Blue Jays and his coach is awesome. He understands that the kids are still little and tries to teach them the basic fundamentals. They play for an hour, the first 30 min is just the kids and the coach, kind of like a practice and then the last 30 min is the "game" One team bats and the other fields and then once they've gone through all the kids then they switch sides.

Since all of the kids are 3-5 years old they need a lot of parental assistance out on the field to show them where to throw the ball and which base to run too, so Chris is able to be out on the field with Myles and the team. It eases my anxiety a little knowing that he's out there and can keep Myles slightly corralled and mellow while he finished healing.

It's really cute to watch them all play and they have such a great time. I'm glad we decided to let him give it a shot.

These pictures aren't that great, but they're all I've got. Myles is the on in the bright blue shirt and the sling
