I picked up a little t-ball set for the back yard a few weeks ago. And then it got rainy and cold. And the kids nagged me everyday to go play t-ball. FINALLY last week when it was gorgeous, we got it out and had a brief lesson. Ok, Colin had a lesson. Gillian would NOT let me show her ANYTHING. Not how to hold the bat, not how to stand, NOTHING. Homeschooling is NOT a valid choice for us (not that it ever was, anyway).
Colin really enjoyed it. And he wasn't too shabby at it either!

I love this video because he spends twice as much time PUTTING THE BALL ON THE TEE as he does swinging the bat. Sigh.
Here's a nice hit though.
And here is Gillian, minus instruction.
And then she got mad, took the tee, bat, and ball and ran away.

Oy.
