Taylor had his turn as catcher. The kids really can't see much with the mask on so they mostly just stand around, and if someone tells them to get a ball they jerk their heads up, down, and all around and usually can't find it anyway. It's a pretty coveted position, though, because what could be cooler than this outfit?
Last post, I wrote about Taylor being tackled by another kid. This game, more and more kids decided to get in on the fun and generally, there was a pile-up on top of any successful fielder. Taylor is at the bottom of this pile, and I love that I captured the action for little number 4. This is pretty much how the kids on our team are approaching "fielding" at the moment. Taylor likes this sort of wrestling/football/baseball hybrid and tried to get in on as much action as possible - he ran after EVERY ball, even if he was by 3rd base and the ball was headed to right field! We had a talk about not doing that any more, and he's going to try to refrain from going out of "his area." Now we just have to figure out how to define "his area" and we might be ok. :-)
Last game, Taylor was the last batter. This time, he was first. He's got running the bases down pretty good. :-)
