Fall Ball!

Jacob has started playing baseball! We are all so excited. Benji is even telling everyone that Jacob had a ballgame. He says "Gacob bawgame". It's so cute. I took Benji's toy lawnmower and he mowed and played in the dirt. Yesterday was Jacob's 2nd practice and they actually had a scrimage game with another team that was there practicing too. It was so fun to see him actually playing in a game! It was so cute because he had no clue what he was doing. He doesn't know the rules of the game and he had never used a real bat before.....only the plastic ones. He actually got a hit the first time up to bat and he ran to first as fast as he could, but he got out. He doesn't even know what "getting out" means, so after they threw him out, he just stayed there on the base so proud that he had hit it and ran to first base. It was so cute! He is a work in progress and he will do wonderful! Keith has alot of teaching to do.......and he will enjoy every minute of it. Jacob plays left field and really hustles after the ball when it's hit to him. The coaches told us that real games will start in 2 weeks. I will keep everyone updated on Jacob's progress! I guess Benji is gonna wear himself out mowing this fall at the games....lol!
