| Coach Steve with all the boys! |
To give Landon an outlet and reason to get out of the house once a week around the time that Owen was born, we signed him up for a T-ball class. Coach Steve was great with the rascally, energetic 3-4 year olds in his class. The class taught T-ball basics in a non-competitive environment. Landon learned to run around the bases, throw to different bases to get runners out, swing a bat, field a ball with his glove and throw it, and many other skills. He also worked on his listening skills and following directions. This has been a big struggle for him, and he did great for the first 30-45 minutes of class, but his ability to listen and do what Coach said deteriorated the last 15 minutes every class.With our constant international travel, this was the first opportunity for him to do sports, and we wanted to try it out while we could. He got some great exposure to the sport, but he just doesn't quite have the attention span to listen and get the most out of the classes at this point. Now we know!

That being said, Landon LOVED T-ball and LOVED Coach Steve. He got along well with his teammates and learned so much. His favorite part of class was batting. They practiced hitting off of a tee, and did a few rounds of coach pitch. The second class with coach pitch, Landon hit the ball! Just the other day, I heard Landon giving Aunt Claire technique tips on her stance while batting, which was super cute to hear. Lando is a sporty kid and we can't wait to see what else he enjoys in the future- when he's a little more mature. He already said he would love to try basketball next!
