Practice

We had our first baseball practice last night (sorry, I didn't take any pictures).  Brady did well at throwing and catching the ball.  He generally has a pretty good swing.  Towards the end of practice, the coaches wanted 2 boys at a time to race around the bases.

First Try:  All the boys ran the bases.

Second Try: Coaches stood behind the two boys who were supposed to run, to block the non-runners.  As soon as they said go, the other five boys ran around their coaches to run all the bases.

Third Try:  One coach holds onto Brady and Aidan.  One coach holds onto the other three boys.  Only the two who were supposed to race ran the bases.  Brady turned and ran into his coaches hand.  It looked like a cartoon with the coach's hand on Brady's head, and Brady running into the hand with his body at a 45 degree angle.

Fourth Try: Same as the third.

Fifth Try: It was finally Brady's turn!  He and Aidan joyfully ran to first, second, the pitching mound and home.  Both boys jumped up and down with their fists punched to the air to celebrate.

We have another practice on Thursday.
