We finally found a place for three year olds to play a sport. (I guess we need to even out the Ballet/Jazz we have the boys joining Malena in). Jacob really wants to play soccer, but we couldn't find anything, so t-ball it is. No problem, he loves all sports. He's been throwing balls across the rooms since he was 6 months old (really), and he has been hitting a pitch(underhanded) for about a year now. Joshua always loves to throw and hit anything! LOL
The first day went great for Jacob and Malena. Joshua started saying he wanted to go home halfway through. Then they were able
to play on the playground, so he was happy. 
I think Malena shocked everyone with her abilities that day. When the coach was going down the row to field grounders, he got to her and said, "here it comes, Sweetie." She crouched down and held out her hands just like everyone else had before her, and Coach Mike was really impressed. "She did it!" Well, of course she did. The second practice, she 
didn't 
do so well. It was after Daddy's birthday lunch and she didn't get her nap, so she through a few fits. But after a while, she saw everyone hitting the ball and running bases, she decided to give it a try. It took a few tries, but she hit the ball off the "T" and all the parents cheered
. I was soooo proud of my beautiful girl! :)
I also got to see how well she will be protected in years to come. The coach threw a ball to her, and it went behind her. Another little boy grabbed it and was going to throw it back to the coach, though it was Malena's turn. Well, Joshua knew it was Malena's turn, and grabbed it from the little boy and said, "No, it Lena's turn!" and gave it to Malena. I have to work on his approach with this, but I was so proud that he stood up for his sister. He's MY hero, as well as Malena's!
So now we have pre-school, dance, and t-ball, and hope to add swimming and soccer in June, when t-ball ends. Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into?
