Today was Evan's last day of t-ball. He was very excited to receive his first trophy! T-ball started out a little rough for him. Not quite as rough as Spencer's start, but definitely not what I expected from Evan. He was looking forward to when he would finally get to play. He had been watching Spencer's team play for weeks. Finally the day came - we headed to the field in shorts and sneakers and froze our tushes off! It was mid- June and I bet the wind-chill was in the low sixties. Evan was cold and grouchy and once he gets his mind set it is a task to change it. Eventually he enjoyed the first day after Spence and I had to take turns going out on the field with him. He didn't want to bat - which is the best part - so I had visions in my head of kicking and screaming dread for the next few weeks. He was a little timid and apprehensive during the next couple games. He had to be coaxed out to the field and to participate, but once he was playing, he literally had a ball. He even wanted to take his turn at bat. After the fourth game or so, he had no problem - he was loving it.
Running the bases after his hit. He is a lefty at bat. For some reason both the boys play sports as a lefty but write with their right hands. Crazy!
In the field - so intense on getting the balls. He would often gather a mitt full!
Evan's first trophy! He was so proud of himself! I am so glad he persevered!
A trophy and a popsicle! Could this day get any better?

Congrats on the trophy Evers!!!! You rock.
That is funny about the Lefty with sports, that is how Scott plays golf, baseball, etc....but he writes R handed.
Evs is a great little ballplayer. I loved watching the intensity in his game when I went to the games. He was so fun to watch. I think he'll be a good tennis player too if he ever changes his positions. :)
