T-ball and Soccer...

Noah and Gabe started t-ball as soon as we got home from our family reunion and vacation to Hawaii. They both had some good coaches that really cared about how well they both did and taught the techniques they needed to know. Noah got really into it and went to almost every practice and would take the appropriate "stance" so that when the ball came his way he would be ready for it. He LOVED it and after getting him a tee to practice on at home he became a pretty good hitter.I know that Gabe had a fun, but at times seemed like he was a little bored when he was waiting for his turn at bat.

After t-ball the boys started right up with soccer. Gabe can't get enough and talks about what a fast runner he is. (He is pretty quick, in my opinion.) He is enjoying it much more than t-ball. I think this is his sport. Noah likes it as well, but I think he enjoyed t-ball a little more.

Both boys are playing well. In fact both boys have scored a goal in the last couple of games. They really like the interaction that soccer has compared to t-ball. It's really fun to watch them grow and develop their skills and see what they like best.No matter what they are having fun and that is what really counts, right? I am proud of both of them for trying something that they have never done before. When they tell me how hard it is I just let them know that it's okay to try and that they can do hard things.
