Aiden at the Bat...I mean at Tee

The sun was warm and brilliant for the Cardinal ten that day.
No score was kept, just little boys and girls ready to play.
Sophie'd slid to second and Hayden had taken first base
Which meant that it was Aiden's turn to step up and set the pace.



Aiden was excited as he stepped into his place.
There was pride in Aiden's bearing and a smile lit Aiden's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Aiden at the bat.




A hundred eyes were on him as he walked amid the dirt
Fifty mouths applauded when he stood there in his shirt.
And when he walked up to the tee and lined up his skinny hips
Excitement flashed in Aiden's eye, a smile came from his lips.



The huge smile spread 'cross Aiden's lips, his heart began to race;
he hit the ball upon the tee and raced to Travis at first base.
His family was cheering, the little children they did shout
and there were high fives at all bases as Aiden rounded them out!

T-ball has been way more fun than I ever expected! Aiden loves to play, I think because everyone is watching him. He loves to make sure everyone is watching him and giving him a thumbs up while he is out there. Audrey is ready to get out there and play herself. She'll usually let us watch Aiden's first bat then it is off to the swing with a lollie for her.

Thanks to everyone that has come to watch him play this season!
