When Gage learned to walk, he starting dribbling a soccer ball around the house. Everywhere he went, he would kick a ball. Mike and I thought we had a future star in our home. Then when he turned two, he started losing interest in balls and started focusing on crafts/coloring. When he turned four, I signed him up for soccer thinking his old skills would come back. Gage hated it. He didn't even make it through a practice. I will be honest, I was pretty sad. Now that I have three boys, I have come to realize at least one of them will play soccer right? Well, I have wanted Gage to at least be active and participate in some sort of exercise. I asked him if he wanted to play T-ball and he said yes to my astonishment. I don't think he even knew what T-ball was. It might have been due to the fact that I bribed him with any toy he wanted but we don't need to divulge any details. We started the T-ball season two weeks ago with practice and our first game was last Tuesday. Gage is absolutely loving it! He looks forward to the games and his having so much fun. Gage is a lot more aggressive than I thought he would be. When he is in the outfield, he chases after every ball. We have had to talk about only getting the ball when it is in your area.
Mike taught Gage the baseball stance when in the infield.
Gage is able to sometimes hit it when pitched!

Nice stance! Ha ha! That is so cute! I can't wait to see what kinds of things Mia will be into when she gets a little bigger. Kinda cool! Looks like Gage is a pro t-baller already!
