Well, Truett decided he wanted to try baseball, so we signed him up with the Hutto Little League.This has been a challenge I think mostly because it is very slow-paced, which Truett is NOT. He is trying though, and has actually come a long way. On one of his 1st practices, when he was playing 3rd base, a runner made it to 3rd and Truett got up in his face and yelled, "Hey- get off my base! This is MY Base!"
His team name is the Sluggers, and they had their 1st game on Saturday.
Truett spent most of his time on his knees playing in the dirt. But he did get to bat a few times, which he tried both left and right handed. It seems to me he hits better from the left...maybe this will lead to a mega fortune in the future. But for now... I will just have to hope he doesn't get pegged in the head with a ball while he is spaced out having dirt parties by himself at shortstop.
Robert actually had to help with the coaching because one of Truett's coaches couldn't make it to the 1st game.
It is funny to me that it takes at least 4 adults at a time to get these boys playing this game. And even with that, it seems unorganized and chaotic. Glad Robert was the one helping, and not me!
He really does look cute in his uniform. I am sure this counts for something, even if he never does excel at the sport! ;-)
