Robbie was very excited to play t-ball. We went to his first practice and he loved it. To make a long story short....he signed up with a bunch of his friends but didnt end up on any of their teams...he was on the angels. THEN....we found out the Angels had all of their games on Sundays. So. We quit. Robbie cried. Mom felt horrible. Mom made lots of phone calls and found out about the Rangers. Rangers had almost all of their games on Saturdays and they needed another player. Can I say adorable?
Back to hilarious...Robbie's first practice consisted of catching and then batting. So...he was used to getting to the ball and throwing it to first base. So...up to bat for the first time, he swings...he hits the ball....err...about 5 feet in front of him....then without dropping the bat, with a huge smile on his face, he quickly runs to the ball, picks it up and throws it to first base. And he's out! :) He was so proud of how well he did and all the parents got a great laugh!
Robbie had is first game this last Saturday. It was very cute. They set this program up to build the confidence of the children. So basically, every inning everyone bats and everyone scores. It doesnt matter if the ball beats you to the base, you are still safe. This makes it fun for all of the kids and builds their confidence before little league when everything changes.
Well, for all of your enjoyment...my little Ranger. Can you tell which one he is? He is #10.
Warming up before the game...
Warming up his arm...he has a good little throw. You can see the ball in the air. 
His team in the outfield. Robbie is in there somewhere...
Robbie's coach telling him to start running!
Running the bases..
Thats it for now. :)

I was so proud of my son. It was so fun helping him warm up. And he has a great throwing arm. It was very cute how by the second inning he was tired and ready for the snack at the end of the game. It is great to get to relive my childhood through him.
I cannot even begin to tell you how good little Robbie looks in a baseball uniform. I am going to draft him with my next pick in my fantasy baseball league.
i want to hear what robbie thinks. tell him to update HIS blog!
That is cute! I love the idea of all being winners. There is nothing worse than turning kids off of sports at a young age because of defeat. GO RANGERS! Allison
Yeah Robbie! What a cutie. That is the funniest little story about him getting himself out. He's getting so big! Kendyl spent quite a chunk of time looking at your blog and finding pictures of him the other day.
