Blastball

3-year-old Blastball.....quite an experience.  Mara was not interested in the slightest in playing catch for more than 30 seconds or waiting patiently for her teammates to hit the ball.  Her response when we'd try to engage her in the game:  Running towards the infield, "Wanna make sand pies!"  And so she sat in the infield, making sand pies.  Sigh.  We do have some sports expectations for our kids.  Good thing she's only 3.  But I'm already preparing myself for a kiddo that may be more interested in something besides sports.  Today was our last day, and she was much more focused and interested.  There's still hope.

She hit the ball but didn't run.  Coach T and Daddy were trying to get her going.....

And she goes!  The base honked when stepped on, so she loved that of course!

 

Little brother was begging with tears to join Daddy on the field.  I can already see a much bigger love for sports with this kid.  Which I know is a typical boy thing.  The boys were much more engaged than the girls at Blastball.

She was probably the most excited about the t-shirt she got on her last day.
