Today was opening day for Little League - a.k.a. Jacob's first official baseball game. He got a base hit in the 2nd inning - there he is looking very cold because he doesn't own a long-sleeved white t-shirt and it was approximately 10 degrees out (OK, 50 degrees) and his parents didn't have the forethought to go buy a white t-shirt for him. Now, I think if we buy a t-shirt it'll be 80 for every game from here on out. Also - please note the lovely "beige/tan/toasted almond" colored uniform sponsored appropriately by a cosmetic surgeon's office. Undeniably the ugliest uniforms in the league......
He played outfield, third base, and catcher - which was pretty cute.
They ended up winning, 10-6 (or 10-7; 10 -something).
Because we're somewhat insane (and Jacob has been begging to play football now for a year), we went straight from baseball to the third (or fourth, maybe, where has this spring gone to?) NFL flag football game at the Y. It was somewhat sloppy from the storms earlier in the week. But.... it's football right?
Jacob as center - of course, no 1st grader is going to put their hands anywhere close to another 1st grader's tushie - so, note the unique form of handing off the ball to the QB.
This morning of sport was followed by an entire afternoon of playing with the neighbors - so exciting that Jacob wholly forgot about lunch. I expect him to sleep well tonight.
