Sports Mom

Well it is official, I am a Sports Mom. My son had an Opening Day ceremony and his first game for T-ball and we had a blast. Well, let's just say it was cute. It was a success because everyone had a wonderful time. The kids were well behaved, they had fun and learned a lot about the game of baseball. However, no one prepares you for the chaos of T-ball. Kids all diving for the same ball no matter where they are on the field, kids running around the bases twice, falling kids, silly kids, and confused kids. For the first 2 innings no one would throw the ball to second base, they all thought they could run it their faster. Kids that ran home all did the same thing, slide into home base. Parents were happy and cheery but confused. They say you don't keep score in T-ball, but really, how can you? There is no way. Kids are running around everywhere. I mean really, you can't even keep up with how many outs you have. Most of the time kids are just focused on what the snack of the day is. "Mommy, can I get a juice?" "When can we eat the crackers?"

My husband was the coach and I must say he was extremly organized. He also gave the batting order so that everyone could help get their child get to the appropriate place. It was a fabulous idea. The other team only had the coach and one other parent to help. Our team had an army of men all assisting. I tell you it was a sight to see. I think it is going to be a very interesting experience, fun and chaotic all at the same time. Stay tuned for an update on the next game.
