Luke is playing a team sport for the first time -- T-ball through Narberth's spring league. The coach is terrific, and the games on Sunday mornings are all about having fun. No one keeps score, although Luke insists every week that his team won. Even if an outfielder gets an out, no child is sent back to the dug out. And an inning ends once everyone on the batting team has had a turn at bat.
Luke has surprised us with his ability to ground balls and throw them to first. He's also one of the better batters on the team. Catching is his Achilles heel, and he's still learning the rules of the game. In his third game, he ran directly from first base to third! But he's really enjoying it and said that it's something he wants to pursue when we're in California.
