Saturday was Lincoln's first baseball practice, and he was so me-cited (that's how he says excited!). He and Daddy listened to Coach Justin's instructions and had lots of fun. After a warm up of stretching and running drills, they practiced fielding, throwing, and running the bases. The funniest thing in the world is watching a 3 year old trying to run the bases. There's no concept of how to run in a straight line toward four bases markers on an invisible line! These boys were all over the place! There are four kids in our class, and they all figured out the base-running concept after a few tries because Coach Justin would run them and have the boys chase him.
Batting practice was super fun. Linc got in the hang of tapping the bat, raising it up high, and resting it on his shoulder before swinging. He connected a few times, sending the ball right at Coach Justin. 
What a fun practice! He's asked a million times if he can go back to baseball practice, so I think he's sold! I love that he and Daddy have a special thing to do together. Beau and I watched from the sidelines, and Beau was crazy squirming. He wanted in on the action so badly. Before I know it, we'll be spending millions of hours at the baseball complex. Good thing Mommy loves baseball too! Daddy, Pops and Bubbles are ready to be catchers . . . the boys are lucky to have so many guys willing to sacrifice life and limb to help them practice! (Well, hopefully not life or limb. Maybe just a few hard bruises!)
