Speaking of baseball, Josh had a great tee ball class today and really impressed the coaches with his brief opportunity to take his first hits off the tee. The coaches are pacing the class well, introducing a few key skills at a time. Last week was all about throwing and this week was basic hitting. In two weeks (no class on Easter) I expect them to learn how to run to first base after hitting the ball in fair territory. It's a great class because parents are allowed to help out. Josh was very excited to have class outside today on a real baseball diamond in the beautiful Spring weather. He really seems to enjoy playing baseball and I hope he continues to enjoy it and gets a chance to play some Little League down the road (something I wish I had done in my childhood). The highlight of the class today was when Josh used his expert arm and threw one of the balls back to the coach and hit him in the worst place for a guy to be hit. Thankfully for all involved it was just a plastic ball.
After nap-time today, the boys and I played out at the playground and played a little tee/wiffle ball. Alex got in on the action and took his first ever cuts at a tee (see video below). He had a good time running around after balls while Josh hit some monster shots with the wiffle ball. Needless to say, the Rose boys are all ready for baseball season.

We were totally thinking the same thing last night!! I could not believe that Sunday night baseball was moved to ESPN2 in favor of womens college basketball.
