Tanner and Tee-ball

Since watching the World Series last October, Tanner has been desperate to play tee-ball. Another family in our ward has a son who played coach pitch baseball last year. We went to a game as well and Tanner loved it.

We signed him for spring ball in November and he couldn't wait for the season to start. He's had a few practices so far and loves it. Games start later in March and I know he is excited to play a real game. His team name is the Rangers. He's a little bummed that he is not the Astros but he is dealing with it.

Almost every time, he spins around the whole way with the bat and then runs.

He wears his helmet all the time, even in the field.

We tried to be cautious of how much we purchased for this activity. They required pants and baseball cleats. But I wasn't about to spend $25 on shoes that will fit for one season. So they approved tennis shoes. I also didn't want to purchase a $20 metal bat that I am confident will end up breaking a window or a sister's face. But the league really wanted each player to have their own. I purchased it but it is still in its box. I think it will be hidden all the time and only appear at practice.
