CATCHING

Week 2 of Fall T-Ball and JT got to start this week's game as catcher. I've never seen someone happier to put on catcher's gear in 95 degree weather than JT. He was lost at first but we had a great umpire that helped direct him as to what he was supposed to be doing. By the end of the game, he was standing at home plate waiting for the ball to be thrown in.

We had a better weekend playing T-ball as both of the teams we played were more in to having fun than winning. I think we need to thank the Yankees for helping our team put the game in to perspective. While we waited to take our dugout, some of the Yankee players (who wear dark navy uniforms) said to the coach that they were hot. The coach pulled the team aside and told (or rather yelled at) them that they were not allowed to complain about the heat, the only thing they needed to be thinking and worrying about was whether or not they were going to get three outs and win the game. He then told them that it was not hot outside and he did not want to hear another kid mention it. Not sure what the lesson was on that one.
