Blastball 2011

Finally! After about a month of waiting, since we signed him up, it's Blastball time!! Blaine is so excited. I'm not sure what exactly he's most excited about...playing Blastball (which he informs me is "close to baseball, mom.") or having his dad as his coach, oh and having people clap for him (he is a ham!) I think it's all three combined. With 2 games under his belt and 4 more to go, he is loving it and Britton is asking if it's his turn to play Blastball "tomorrow."
And a sidenote: Blaine's Blastball team is the White Sox. Being the loyal Red Sox fan that he is, he wears his Boston hat.

a pep talk from coach (AKA dad)

Blaine waiting for his turn to bat. 

His second time on the court I gave him his glove and he actually played. He told me later that it made him get the ball.

Blaine hit the ball really well!!

great follow-through with the bat

the pic is very out of focus but I think you can still get the excitement!
