Jonah begged me to sign him up for t-ball last year, but I couldn't find a good league for him. So, I tried again this year and found a good fit for him and us (meaning mostly for fun, not too many games/practices a week, and not too much money - when he's just starting out I don't want to go crazy!). He started out not being able to even swing a bat because, well, he'd never played before (Wii doesn't count, who knew that swinging an actual bat is harder than swinging the wiimote?). It was several games before he got a hit, and in yesterday's game, he had three! He's made so much improvement. He's always had such a good attitude about it and even when he would strike out (it's coach pitch), he'd still have a big smile on his face as he headed back to the dugout. He plays catcher quite a bit and it's been fun to see him go from pretty much just standing there (and the coach in the umpire position would catch and throw the ball back) to going for the ball and throwing it back to the pitcher. He also plays third base and various outfield positions.
