Cubbies

Parker had his first Cubbies game this past Friday. Cubbies is pre t-ball for 3 and 4 year olds. The purpose is to teach kids how to hit, catch, and throw the baseball as well as teach them the rules of the game. Parker has been so excited about his first game and loved wearing his new uniform. He even wore his hat for the entire game which shocked us because he has never worn a hat. He usually takes it off as soon as we put it on.

A Cubbies game lasts only two innings and they do not keep score. Every player gets to hit the ball and run one base at a time. The parents stand with them on the field to help them remember what to do. They rotate positions on the field so that everyone gets to play at each position. Parker started the game as the second baseman. He then moved to first base, catcher, and ended in the pitching position. He did a great job running to the ball and then throwing it to first base. Parker's coach is Coach Will. He is very patient with the kids and has done a great job with Parker and his teammates. He always helps them get in the right stance before they hit the ball. Parker did a great job hitting the ball and running around the bases and only had to be reminded to touch home plate once! There are 8 boys and girls on Parker's team. His best buddy from preschool, Kaden, ended up on his team. They are quite a pair!

Parker was so excited that Granna and Granstan were able to come and watch his first game.

Cory and I were so proud of Parker and are looking forward to watching him play the rest of the season.
