Last T-ball practice... er... game




Sam had his last t-ball practice today, which technically was a game. They played two innings-- everyone bats and no one gets out. It's a great way to play. It also requires parental support for nearly every child on the field at all times-- much more labor-intensive than football or basketball.
At the end of the practice... I mean, game... the "coach" called all the boys in for one last (and possibly first) team huddle. He started to say "On the count of zero" (no, I'm not joking, he used zero) and Sam jumped in with "I like it when we yell..." The coach ignored him and said, "let's yell "go penguins" or whatever and sam said "Why don't we yell..." He's a natural leader, I tell you. Not intimidated by what any coach might say... able to make his own decisions and lead a team. I was so proud.
