Play Ball!

Roderic played T-ball this spring. All of the teams in the league were given university names/mascots and Roderic got to be on the hometown favorite -- BSU Broncos! I think this sport was a bigger success than soccer last fall, where he liked to run up and down the field waving at us with a big smile.

He made considerable improvement as a batter from the start of the season, meaning he would hit the ball on his first attempt instead of hitting the T many times before.

He liked to sit in the outfield and pick grass. When he was a base player, or runner, he liked to pick up the dirt. When he wasn't on the ground, he liked to run at the ball and tackle another player if there was one to tackle.

All of the players wanted to be the catcher, so they could dress up like a "Storm Trooper."

Thanks to Amy for taking good pictures of my boy (and the rest of the team)!
