Reese is playing fall baseball this year. I was a little hesitant because he just started kindergarten but he promised to take a nap before games so I agreed to it:)  He is no longer in T-ball though and don't mess up and call it that because he will correct you immediately just in case you forgot his big now:) He is on the 7-8 league, yes we are aware that he is only 5, but he keeps getting asked to move up because he's a stinkin' good player....a natural I suppose;) Honestly, we noticed his athleticism early on. One day he was maybe 5 months old ok maybe 6;) and I tossed him one of those mini tangerines and he caught it and held onto that thing with a death grip almost squeezing it like crazy! We would also find him late at night sleeping with a baseball. Now he didn't go to bed holding one but somehow he would always seemed to find one in his room and when we tried to take it out of his hand he would wake-up and hold it tighter. Pretty funny to look back now...he was born to play baseball! Now let's not forget Greg and his influence though he has always been good about playing ball with Reese even when he was just a little tot and couldn't even hit the ball. Way to go Greg I think you brainwashed him good;) Oh well it could be worse right?
Anyways here are a few pictures from his first "big kid" baseball (meaning coaches pitch) game.
He has been doing pretty well still trying to figure out everything but he's holding his own for sure! He is one of two 5 year olds on the team and the rest of them are 7-8 and mostly 8 years old! Oh and he is still on the Red Sox but let me clarify AGAIN we do NOT like the Major league Red Sox just the little league...I would hate for anyone to get confused:)
