Although I can't say that he LOVED it and can't wait to play again next year, I know he learned a lot! He never did give up playing with the infield dirt; he just couldn't help himself. But, his hitting was better, he learned how to run the bases in the right order, he can throw much better, and he can now field grounders!
In his last "game", the coaches decided it would be the Carroll Manor Orioles vs. their parents! The parents were up to bat first, and we were 3 and out! However, we gave anyone who wanted to bat an opportunity, although no runs counted! Therefore, Elektra got her first ever at-bat! She then ran the bases, too!! I guided her to 2nd, 3rd and home, but she did great!
Then the kids got to bat, and go figure, EVERY SINGLE t-ball player hit a HOME RUN!!!! We parents in the field were just a calamity of errors! For example, during DJ's at-bat, you'll see Steve miss catching the ball at 2nd base and "running" to go get the errant ball while DJ comes heading home!

After the game was over, we all went to a local creamery for ice cream, and the coaches handed out trophies and certificates for the kids.
