T-Ball!

As our season draws to a close, I realize I haven't blogged a single time about the Auction.com Animals...Alia's first T-ball team here in Laguna Beach.

Well, the season began with Alia's little team of 9 or 10 boys and 2 girls. Turns out? The two girls on the team are very strong competitive players! In fact, when the big brother of a player accused him of playing like a girl, he quickly replied that Alia and Ella are strong players, so he'd take that as a compliment. Yes,  a 5-year-old boy came up with that one on the fly!

Among the highlights of the season thus far would have to be the time a ball was hit between first and second base resulted with a massive pile up. Every player on the field dove onto the ball. Including the runner between first and second. Talk about "you just can't make this stuff up". And who came up with the ball? Alia, of course. She's quite the little fielder!

When I ask Alia what part she likes best, throwing or catching, running or hitting, she replies with throwing, hitting and running. Catching is still a little scary. But this girl loves running the bases. She loves making contact with the ball. Oh, and applause. She loves applause.
