Elliott Baseball

Elliott had his first game this Saturday and did great!
His team, the Yankees, are so cute.  In Miteball, the kids learn the basics of baseball, how to hit the ball, catch grounders, throw, and touch all the bases when running.  
Elliott is especially good at hitting.  He manages to hit it on the first try, every time.  
It is tough to keep a bunch of 3 and 4 year-olds paying attention for a whole game, but the hung in there.
Elliott batted last which meant, in Miteball, that every hit for him was a home run, and everyone on base got to run home when Elliott hit too.

The kids in Miteball almost always have a mommy or daddy behind them helping them know what to do.  Elliott was lucky enough to have a mommy and a big brother!

Elliott did such a good job on his first game that he earned the MVP game ball.  He was so proud!
