A while back, Kathleen, Madeline and I were playing at our friend Amy's house when we watched Kathleen do something pretty amazing. We'd been playing outside with bubbles. Amy has an impressive collection of different bubble wands, which the kids dipped in a shallow tray filled with bubble solution. We replenished the bubble solution with one of those giant bottles of bubbles -- you know, the kind you can buy at Walmart for just a few bucks. Anyway, when Kathleen was tiring of the bubbles (after about an hour!), she picked up a ball, balanced it on the top of the bottle of bubbles, and proceeded to hit it with a plastic baseball bat. Wow! Apparently Kathleen was just
born knowing how to play tee ball!
Since then, we've been meaning to get Kathleen an actual tee ball set. Last weekend we finally did. And it was a (pardon the pun) hit!
Without any prompting, Kathleen slung the bat over her shoulder as though she'd been walking around with one her whole little life.
Fortunately, Daddy was available for some tips on proper form.
Kathleen can really hit! (And sometimes she doesn't even knock over the stand!)
Madeline was impressed by her sister's skill with a bat, but was more interested in the ball herself.
I think there's a whole lot more baseball in our future!

What a cute story! Anna just loves to kick any ball. Madeline is getting so big! Keep her as baby as you can till we get there. :-)
Ben has the same T! He's growing up so fast, he doesn't use it much anymore, he can already hit a ball that is pitched to him with an aluminum bat! Time flies....have fun!
