T Ball

In addition to swimming lessons twice a week we have t-ball twice a week. It has been quite the challenge on Wednesday nights to get from swim to dinner to practice! Since we have had no rain and the heat is ridiculous Trenton has been wanting to wear shorts and tanks to practice! How cute does he look in Wolverine Red/Black!

He really does love the game! I can’t wait for next year when he plays Real T-Ball and not Mini T-Ball. Its has been a great learning experience, but I think he is ready for the real deal!

It was picture day last Thursday before the game. I think his pictures are going to look so good. (Yes I am that Mom standing behind the photographer taking my own pictures)

Getting ready to hit a home run!

I love this picture! Sometimes it take a while for the hitter to get set and hit! I guess he got a little tired on this hot day!

Bringing the bat back into the dug out after “scoring”

This one is a framer! I love how the tongue matches his uniform! This picture has so much of his silly personality too!

Swim Lessons

I have learned a very important lesson by watching my first born at swim lessons. I have learned that 4 is way too late to start them. Trenton has always been scared of the water and I simply have just put off swim lessons because we already have so much going on. This year I really wanted him to go because it is important to me that he knows safe swimming. We have decided to go to a very good school called Summers Swim Academy. Everyone raves about it and I now see why. Trenton has a very small class of 4 kids. All of them are equally as scared of the water. He cries a lot during the lessons when he has to swim in the middle of the pool on his bar bells. Gene and I have made it a point to work really hard with him and we are seeing improvements. This week they focused on swimming under water and coming up on their own. I know that by the end of the 12 weeks he will be a little fish. I am going to continue the lessons early next summer! Trace will start as soon as they will let him.

Look how scared he looks

It really does break my heart to see this extremely scared look on his face, but I know it’s for his own good. At lessons on Wednesday I actually said to myself “this hurts me more than it hurts you” YUCK I am my MOM!

Ready to swim with the barbells

Only  a few tears, but Mrs. Tony was there to ensure him he was safe and not going to sink!

We go to lessons on Mondays and Wednesday evenings. Its been a crazy schedule, but I know in the end it was worth it! He will see that too..one day…right?!?
