As of this week, T-ball and Swimming Lessons are done! We completed them last week, now we are ready to sit back, and enjoy the rest of summer, with no more lessons or sports, we can breath the fresh air, and have no place to be running too! Have I mentioned I love this month of July?
T-Ball Sum Up.
T-Ball! The age where children want to participate, and play, but don’t quite fully understand the game at first! It was a fun season to watch.
As with his teammates, Tucker enjoyed hitting the ball,
but was a little bored (and therefore becoming a little mischevious) when in the outfield, waiting his turn to bat, sitting on the bases waiting for others to bat so he could run,
and almost everything else about it. As parents, we would sit on the sidelines, and kind of giggle at our children, and learning group sports.
We had really good coaches,
who taught Tucker alot, and to them we are very grateful! I think Tucker and his teammates kept them pretty busy with there antics, of eating grass, poking teammates, eating mitts,
playing in the dirt instead of catching the ball,
and etc. They were patient and guided them with care. Now Tucker understands the sport, can hit a ball, and run to all bases, is good at throwing the ball to first base, and has overall mastered T-ball.
Hurray for T-ball and the Red Dragons!
We’re looking forward to coach pitch next year!
Swimming Lessons
They learned what they needed to learn: Tucker passed Level 2 and Truman passed Level 1.
They have loved the things they learned about swimming, and have tried to apply them around the house. Last night I walked into their room, Truman was standing on his bed watching his shadow as he did: Chicken, Airplane, Soilder (the steps to the backstroke), and Tucker is constantly cannon bombing off everything, the kitchen table, the couch, you name it.
The last day, was free family swim day, so I got to get in the water with the boys and see what they learned, and let me tell you, two weeks is not a lot, but when you’ve got great teachers, alot can be learned! I loved seeing my little fisheys!
Here are a few videos:
Truman was so happy once he got in the water, he would just bounce around:

What a fun thing to see your children learn to love to swim, and enjoy the water. Love it!
