Tee-Ball

A couple of months ago, i was cruising around the web and happened upon the Meridian P.A.L. website. It was advertising baseball sign-ups for their U5 league. U5?!? They actually let kids younger than 5 play baseball?!? I was very surprised and even more excited to sign Allison up. The teams are made up of 3 and 4 year olds and she just had her first game today. It was a riot! They let every kid on the team hit the ball and run the bases. Then they switch sides. Most of them still don't quite understand what to do after they hit it. But the best part is when they are in the field and someone hits the ball, you see at least 6 kids run in from all over trying to get the ball first. Once they get it, they don't quite know what to do next. Luckily there are coaches all over the field helping them out.

Team picture. Allison is second from the left, with the purple glove.

Most of the time, Allison is off in her own little world. She seems more interested in picking grass or kicking dirt than what's going on in the game. But she's definitely not the only one. Notice the ball on the ground off to the left? She didn't!

Here's a quick video of her first ever base hit!
