The Sidewinders

Cole had so much fun playing baseball again this year. His team was the Sidewinders. Even though it was a very bright color he was thrilled to have a cool snake across the uniform. He got a new coach this year-he was coaching two separate teams and so the dads got to help out a lot. Cole's friend Jackson was on his team again this year and they had tons of fun together. He is getting really good at baseball. His favorite position to play is first base, and he did a pretty good job there-especially since he is actually able to catch the ball.
He is really understanding the game and will definitely be ready to move up to the big boy league next year. He's ready for a few more rules and structure. This was Cole's third year playing and he thinks baseball is "cool". That's the only thing he'd say about it. Last year he couldn't stop talking about it-now he's Mr. Cool Guy. Fun times! He did tell me that his favorite thing from baseball was when he hit a homerun. Usually the kids hit the ball and only run one base. Cole had such a good hit that the first base coach told him to keep running and he decided that meant it was a homerun and ran around all the bases. It was so cute!
