We signed Ella up for T-ball a few weeks back. We got her a helmet, a glove, a bat, some practice balls, shoes and a bag to carry it all. She’s been pretty pumped up about it. She finally had her first practice today.
The worst thing about working when I do is that a lot of the activities happen when I am at work. I have rearranged my schedule a bit so that I can see a game a week (they play 2) and not have to use personal time off. Sam went with her to practice.
The first thing she texted me was that she is the only girl on the team. I really hope that this won’t bother her. She can be anyone’s friend, but I also know how cruel some kids can be. We hope that this will be a sport she likes to play and will continue in the future.
I coached my two older boys with both T-ball and baseball for as long as they played. I was not a good coach, but I certainly enjoyed being there with them. They seemed to have fun, even though they didn’t play long.
This week, I will be playing catch with her and helping her with batting. I am excited for the first game in a couple weeks…

My oldest played tee ball for a couple seasons. He enjoyed it but later decided to try soccer, which he loves. He played against a couple teams where there was a girl on the team. I never heard any of the boys say anything about it. I always thought it was great. Go get ‘em, Ella!

We have thought about soccer. She would probably love that. I can’t wait to watch her play

how great, and at her age, the children don’t usually mind which gender is playing with them, they just want to have fun
