The Douglas family was introduced to, and fell in love with, tee ball this year. The dad of one of Max's preschool buddies was coaching a team with his two sons on it and told us about it or we would have never known. Max was officially the youngest on his team. He had teammates that were from preschool and some that were in Kindergarten at Alia's school. He fell in love with it right away and wasn't scared or intimidated. He was so excited, he wanted to wear his baseball helmet to school! Every day he asked "Is it tee ball day?"
We were so proud of him! He started from square one and made SO MUCH progress throughout the season. He loved going into the backyard and practicing on his own too!

Team cheer at the end of the game
Perhaps the cutest tee ball picture ever!
Jason was one of the assistant coaches and pitched most games. The coaches would pitch a handful of times first and then if the kid didn't hit it they would tee it up.
Here are a few video clips from the first and last games of the season. (Note: The last hitter is the "home run hitter" and runs the bases. There are no outs in tee ball either.)
