"Baseball"

Nate is playing T-Ball at Oakman this year. He has been practicing for about 2 weeks. The first day he said, "Daddy, I'm going to be the pitcher" and Matt said, "Nate, you will play the position that Coach Jason says that you will play." Nate then said, "Ok, Daddy, but he's going to tell me that I'm the pitcher." They began to practice and Nate was running and getting all of the balls and everyone couldn't believe it was his first year to play. So, Coach Jason then told him to get in the pitcher position and see how he likes that. When he did that he looked over at his Daddy and winked. :) After practice Jason came over with a face mask, and tried it on Nate and said, "How would you like to be our pitcher little man?" and Nate said, "Hold on a minute and looked at Matt and said, "I TOLD YOU SO DADDY". Then he looked back at Jason and said, "I thought you would never ask." So he has been playing that position for 2 weeks now and let me tell you, they still need a lot of practice but it is so cute to see 3 to 6 year olds playing baseball. It takes everything they have got to get it from one base to another. And it also takes a lot of patience. Jason is doing really good with the kids. Their first game is Saturday April 5th. We can't wait.
