Put me in Coach

Zach told me last night, "Mom, this is the first trophy I have ever won! I am so excited!" He was so proud and thrilled to get it.


Zach just finished his first year of t-ball on the Wilber Gray Team. He had so much fun and loved playing with his friends and making new ones. At this age it is very entertaining to watch the kids. Some are playing in the dirt, others are off in space somewhere and sometimes when the ball is hit, a group of 6-7 kids all take off in the same direction to get it. There are some good laughs for sure. Zach had good hits and can run pretty fast. He gives us a thumbs up when he reaches the bag. Cameron is Zach's biggest fan! He yells "Go Go Go Zach Go Go Go yaaa yaaa" very loud and claps. It's very cute!

I was laughing because when Zach was playing first base he was so encouraging to the person who had just hit the ball and told them good job etc. He was so wrapped up in helping the runner he was not paying attention to his teammates and the fact that the ball was being thrown to him. Good thing they don't have any heat when they throw the ball or Zach would have had lots if bruises. I wondered early on if he should just be the first base coach instead? :) He quickly picked up more and more skills. Of course he is a work in progress but we are super proud of him and how well he played! He can't wait until next year.
