batter up

E started t-ball tonight - his first team practice. Tall House, Double Cup and I were both excited and slightly giddy. THDC played serious baseball as a kid and as we sat in the light rain, he couldn't help but remember all of the time he spent playing baseball in the Oregon rain.

Afterward, E said he liked catching the ball the best. He also got to try on the catcher mask which he said was really heavy. He was the last up to bat and got to run in all of the bases. I had to keep stopping myself from cheering too loud - it was only practice and supposed to be mellow.

But it is so delightful to see him jump onto home base. What a slugger!
