Take me out to the ball game...

The cheering section.Ollie's team the "Angels".
Ollie has got a pretty good arm and is all around athletic I think. So this team is made up of 3 and 4 year olds and I tell you, some of those 4 year old are giants. My little Ollie boy is going to have to hold his own next to kids a head taller than him and you know what, I'm not that worried. But seriously, why do they group kids a whole year or more apart. A years a big difference when you've only got 3 under your belt.
Hitting was no problem. Running the bases however was quite a challenge at first.
Nice throw Ollie!

In case you didn't know, my husband was quite the baseball player in his day. The pitcher actually. No big deal. So Ollie's got a great coach to teach him all the neccessary baseball stuff like, "atta boy", bum smacks, chewing gum, spitting out sunflower seeds, and of course the technicalities of the game. There is something really hysterical about watching kids under 5 play sports. I really enjoy it.

Sooo cute that they get to do this together! Ollie is one lucky little guy! I can't wait till Gage gets to shadow Cody around and do everything he does.

These are so great. Kevin LOVES baseball too, he was on the USC team. He hopes to have a little guy to coach like this one day. Great pictures. Oliver looks like he's having so much fun!
