Josh and Anna headed to Gilmer this weekend, so I've had the littles all to myself. :) There was a t-ball game this morning, which almost all of the parents were pretty sure was going to get called on account of the weather. It was misty and gross, but not raining hard, and there was no lightning. I heard just about everyone saying they were checking their phones the entire way to the ball park for a cancellation text. I figured since I was just going to have Meredith with me and Wallace was "playing" I could try to get some pictures of him. He surprised us last weekend and actually played in the game! With the promise of ice cream of course. Every time he'd start losing focus and getting ready to just leave the game or not go up to bat we'd remind him that some ice cream was on the line, and he stuck it out. I was so proud of him. :) I thought we might have a repeat performance and had already put some more ice cream, chips, and donuts on the table if he played again.

I was worried with the rain, and without Anna that he just wasn't going to be up for it, but he went in the dugout without too much of a fight. And then, he was first up to bat!

This week he refused to swing by himself...

And then he didn't want to run to first.  Instead he wanted to play chase with his coach.  "/  Great...now he's going to do this every time... — And then he didn't want to run to first. Instead he wanted to play chase with his coach. "/ Great...now he's going to do this every time...

He ended up hitching a ride to first.  But then he didn't stay out there and run the bases like he did last week.  Oh well. — He ended up hitching a ride to first. But then he didn't stay out there and run the bases like he did last week. Oh well.

He got ready for fielding without too much prodding, and he had a pretty good time playing with the other kids in the dugout.

He even took the field!  :) — He even took the field! :)

And then he played in the dirt the whole time.  :)  He seemed a little miffed to be coming back to the dugout. — And then he played in the dirt the whole time. :) He seemed a little miffed to be coming back to the dugout.

His second at-bat was similar to the first.  But this time he walked up to his coach and just straight up dropped his bat.  Sometimes I wonder if he's just looking for a reaction. — His second at-bat was similar to the first.

At the end of the game he actually participated in the high fives!  This was an improvement over last week.  :)  However, this was right after we had fielded again, and his hand was all covered in dirt.  "/  Oh well.  H… — At the end of the game he actually participated in the high fives!

Two weeks ago he wouldn't even go in the dugout and instead proceeded to hang out with Meredith rather than participate in the game at all.

Oh yeah...Meredith.  She was there too, but it was wet and nasty, so after just a few minutes of chasing her my Mom decided to take her to the car and parked right up behind home plate so she could watch the game.  :) — Oh yeah...Meredith.
