This is how Drew guards first base.

Getting advice from daddy...good listening T

Good game, good game, good game...
Wow, Houston Tball in July is hot! We were in an instant sweat crossing the parking lot. Drew was into the tball game and played almost the entire hour. He hit, ran, and chased balls. All without ever taking off his gloves (our ongoing addiction, like Brooke with her shoes, he will put them on anywhere). When we where in PA, he found a bag of gloves. Ran inside and hide behind a chair. He sat there with the bag behind his back against the wall. When he thought no one was looking, he started to pull them out and try them on one by one. As you know, he was not far from a glove the rest of the trip. So today with tball, it was no exception!
Tyler, however, was slow to start his game, but finished like a champ. He choked on some water at Drew's game and threw up. Once his game started, he sat down off on the side and refused to play. BJ evaluated him to determine if he was sick or if it was an isolated event. He soon felt better and after some coaxing, he joined the game as they were hitting. He quickly made up for lost time, jumping around giving high fives and chasing grounders with everyone else.
We were proud of them and how they played today, but mostly because they kept their endurance and over came obstacles to have a great day!
