Baseball season is here and Logan is starting practice. He is super excited, while I am a nervous wreck (don't worry I hide it well!) His first practice was yesterday, so we gathered up the his glove and headed to practice. We were late (unfortunately, not unusual for us), so Logan joined the group as they were beginning to throw and catch. The coaches gave the kids some pointers and Logan took them to heart. He would stomp out that opposite foot as he threw with his right hand. We'll be working on that at home :) Then they went on to do some fielding with the ball.
It went ok, another thing to practice at home :) Logan did well with the coach throwing the ground balls, but would shy away when it was a pop up throw. I flinched and took a step back too. Once you've been hit with a ball, it is hard not to (in my opinion--that softball hurt! Remember that mom?) Hitting was up next and we had Logan try it batting left. We'll have to see if that will be the way to go or not--another thing to work on at home :)
Oh, almost forgot to mention (you'll love this Jesse ~note the sarcastic tone) his team name is the Cubs!

Fun pics! Practice at home is always fun. Well, at least Kelly will be happy with the team name! Have fun Logan!
