Brooke actually wanted to be on the field and use a glove most of the time. We made her stay in the outfield, and she actually scooped up a few balls that rolled right to her. It was so cute, and she was so proud of herself. I don't know how it ended up at our house a few states away, but somehow we have my 13 year old niece Emiley's glove that she used when she was little. It's so much better than a brand new glove because it's already been perfectly worked in. Thanks, Uncle Tim! I'm sure he's been looking for that glove since Emiley has a 7 and 4 year old sister that could use it. Oh, well. Y'all can have it back if you come and get it!
Brooke took a couple turns at bat, too. We stuck Cole's helmet on her just to see how she did with it while batting. She liked doing things just like her big brother. His helmet is way too big for her and she had trouble seeing, so I may have to get her a pretty pink one. How cute would that be?!
She saw a pink bat at the store the other day and really wanted me to get it. I didn't, but I just might because today she said that she wants to play softball when she's 7. Can you imagine?!?!?! Oh my gosh, the cuteness would be off the charts!!
After way too many missed balls, Nathan finally figured out that Cole likes the balls to be thrown lower to him. Well, I guess it's really more that he can't lay off the high balls and tends to swing at them and miss them no matter what. He usually makes some kind of contact with the low balls though. The coach tends to throw the balls higher to most of the kids that he hasn't coached before, so Nathan will tell him that Cole likes the ball low, and maybe he'll do better at batting during the games from now on.
