And You're Out...Not!

Brennan had his 1st teeball game of the fall season yesterday. It was amazing to see how much better these 5 year olds are now than they were last spring. Brennan, for instance, knows to run to 1st base first (instead of 3rd) and how to wait in the general area of his position (instead of running from right field over to 3rd base for the ball, only to end up in a dogpile with 3 or 4 other boys!). There were even a few bonafide outs!

On one particular play however, Brennan was playing catcher and a runner was heading home. The boy at pitcher threw Brennan the ball, Brennan got the ball and ran it over to home plate. Amazed at their success, we parents yelled out to Brennan "Tag the runner". Brennan immediately threw the ball at the runner instead of tagging him with it. Luckily for the runner, Brennan's aim is still poor!

After a good laugh, the coach explained to our slightly perplexed Brennan what exactly tagging a runner means. I am not sure he got it, however...Tune in next week for more teeball blooper stories.

Oh, and in an attempt to try out pictures, here is Brennan playing teeball last spring. I still have to get the new pics off of the camera!
