Today is Arie's first day of T-ball practice.  I always have mixed feelings about Arie's sports involvement, not because of any opposition to sports but because things like catching, throwing, or kicking a ball can be very difficult for him.  On the plus side, he keeps at it most of the time which is good for him because he has a tendency to give up on things he isn't immediately able to master.  Still, when I watch him I often want to get out there and help him even thought that is absolutely ridiculous.  Today it is kind of cloudy and a little misty which reminds me of my own spring practices in little league.  Most of my recollections of practice involve kind of chilly wet days spent in the fields of schools I did not attend.  I'm looking forward to walking Arie over to the field in our park, if the weather holds out and hopefully he has a good time.
