Prepping my Pro-Athlete

Many of you have been waiting for photos and videos from Nikholi's first T-Ball practice; well here they are! Nikholi getting ready to SwInG! His COACH reminds him to follow through and run to first base once he hits the ball...

After viewing the video, it may be difficult to see but once Nikholi realizes he needs to run to first base he figured he'd grab the ball on the way; having been first-baseman prior to batting.
It was so cute watching Nikholi learn the game of baseball. Kami and I watched intently to see what Nikholi next move would be.

Here is Nikholi running to second base...

Still having difficulties determining what bases are which and whose team he's on, he finally makes it to second.
I don't have a video of the run between second and third base because I was also taking care of Kambrya, but that run was seamless.
Here is a video of Nikholi running to what he knows as HoMe!

In this video you can see him playing with the dirt on third base. Once he finally starts realizing what's going on he runs HOME. Before I realized what my coaching "Run home, run home" was doing, he had already passed the base and was ready to go home! I giggled so much I had Kami laughing!

We had so much fun and Nikholi thoroughly enjoyed it, wondering when he could go back. His next practice is scheduled for Tuesday, but I'm afraid it might be cancelled because of what the weather man told me (I'm hoping he's wrong)!
