T-Ball

This year Cole decided to give t-ball a try.  When Owen played when he was Cole's age, it didn't go so well (he spent most of the time playing in the dirt).  So this time we found a different type of t-ball.  It was an all-inclusive team with kids of all abilities.  Each kid was assigned a buddy to help keep them focused on the game.  While a great idea (especially for those kids with walkers or in wheel chairs), Cole and his buddy spent most of the time goofing around on the field, which is probably the reason why Cole loved playing t-ball so much!

Run, Cole!

At the last game, they handed out medals.  Cole was so excited to show his award to everyone that he took off running with it and it smacked him right on the cheek.  It dazed him for a few seconds but he quickly recovered and was off once again to show all his fans his award.
