first (and maybe last) t-ball game

Kaylea had her first t-ball game on Thursday.  Let me start by saying that she never asked to sign up for this.  I signed her up.  I loved playing and thought I would start her early.  She is actually 2 months too young to play, but I asked and they said she could join the team.  We had 2 practices and she said she didn't like it.  However, we were signed up to bring snacks to the first game, so I wanted to have her at least try one game.

When she got home from school, she through a full on tantrum about putting on her uniform.  She wanted to wear a dress, not short.  She didn't want to go to the game.  Could she just watch?  I told her that she could just watch.  I told her that we didn't have to go to anymore games if she really didn't want to.  She finally calmed down and we headed to the game. She asked if we could go to Chic Fil A after the game, so I thought it would be a good time to bribe her.  I told her if she played in the game we could go to Chic Fil A. It worked.

Kaylea played.  She hit off of the tee her first time up to bat.  She played in the field.  She picked grass.  She ate grass (nice).  Her next time up to bat, I suggested she let the coach pitch to her.  I did not think there was a chance she would be able to hit, based on our practices.  She missed the first pitch, but she actually hit the second pitch.  She ran to first base and was so excited when she got there that she squealed!

Needless to say, we ended the night at Chic Fil A.  Kaylea said she had fun and wants to go back next week, but I guess we'll see how it goes!  I stole these pictures from Erin :)
