Tanielu and T-ball

Tanielu played on his first T-ball team this year. He just finished up the season. It was really fun to watch these cute 4-5 year old kids play. The first game nobody knew where to run or what to do. Some even hit the ball off the tee and ran to get it. On Tani's first time up to bat he got ready, took a practise swing and burst into tears! It was all a bit too much with the crowd watching him. However, on his next time up to bat he hit it like a pro. By the end of their season Tani was easily the best on the team. (Am I allowed to brag on my own blog?) He could solidly hit the ball off the T, would run quickly to the base, and could actually throw the ball all the way to the bases when he was fielding. Rod was an unofficial assistant coach and really was great with the kids. He patiently taught them to bat and helped them in the field. It really was fun to see Tani play his first team sport.
