Kenan's t-ball escapades (part one of many I'm sure)

Last week Kenan played his first t-ball games and let me tell ya, he was hilarious to watch!  He played 1st base and he made some good play!  It was fun to see him out there.  He wears baseball pants that used to be Timmy's and with the way that he is built he looks like a mini Babe Ruth. 

 Since there are no outs in t-ball all the kids get to run the bases and score a run.  There is no need to slide, but Kenan insisted he slide into home, and sure enough he did!  I didn't see it, but this what my husband relayed to me later.  Thursday Kenan filled his hat with dirt, and his glove with dirt.  He play fought with another boy in the field while the game was going on and no matter what the coach did, Kenan and Theo were determined to keep playing with each other.  He got bored with that and practiced his sliding while waiting in the outfield for the ball to get hit to him.  

The funniest part was when he was up to bat.  The catcher was a little boy from Kenan's preschool class named Daniel.  Kenan was mid swing when he suddenly put the bat down by his side, turned to Daniel and said "We have the Sandlot movie!"  

That night when I was tucking him into bed, I said to him "Next time you play ball don't fill your hat with dirt."  Kenan said "Why?  It's fun!"  

Oh Kenan!  I love you!
