This weekend Coleman's coach asked if Spence would like to be the team's bat boy. Brian and I weren't really sure. Spence has never shown much interest in the game and likes to bring toys and play with the other kids. But Spence said he'd like to do it. He was pretty excited and even made sure to tell Allie all about his duties! So Coach gave him a team shirt and hat, I let him wear Coleman's old baseball pants, and he was set for tonight's game! Our team was in the outfield first, so I was a little concerned that Spence would get bored and wish he was out of the dugout and could play with his friends. But he hung in there, and when our team got up to bat, he proved to be the best (and most cutest) bat boy First Colony Little League has ever seen!

Here's the proof of cuteness!
Running fast to get that bat!

Way to go bat boy!
Is everyone now convinced that he is the most awesome and adorable bat boy in the entire world? There was one photo that I'm still kicking myself for not getting: Coleman was running home and Spence was there picking up a bat. Unfortunately I was busy telling another parent that yes, the concession stand did in fact have blue Powerade. I'll try to focus better next time.
OK, enough about the bat boy for now. Coleman had a great game! He got two hits and two runs.

And this cracks me up! I was hoping to get a picture of him sliding into home, but you can see that he hasn't even reached home plate yet and he's trying to pick up the bat. He's stepping into his little brother's territory there.
We're so glad Daddy can get to the games in time to help out as third base coach or in the dugout.
