Benjamin has started his T Ball season. He's not too bad at it, but I'm not sure it's the best sport for such a hyper kid. His arm is pretty good (we've been working on stepping with the throw) and he hits well. His fielding is decent too when he's paying attention. It's fairly non-competitive at this age. Every play is to first, each kid runs one base automatically and there are no outs. There tends to be a free-for-all to get the ball, so there is quite a bit of madness with each hit and even some tears. I'm trying to work with Benjamin to only go after the ball if it comes to him and to let his teammate have it if they get there first. It's a work in progress. For now I think it is a bit boring for him, but he may like it more when it becomes a bit more competitive.
