Baseball in the dark

Hello all,

Tonight Zac, Ali and I played baseball in the backyard until it was dark. Zac is still a hitting machine. He whistled the wuffle ball past my head several times tonight. Ali is a dead pull hitter. Look out at 3rd base when Ali is batting! She has very quick hands and puts the sweet spot of the bat on the ball. I'm working with her to hit the ball "up the middle". That way she will be able to do more with pitches on the outer half of the plate. Right now she thinks I'm crazy. She is having success and enjoying watching the ball fly into the hedges.

Zac is still experimenting on throwing left handed. Jennifer and I believe that Zac is naturally left handed, but through school he had adjusted to doing things with his right hand. When he first started to walk and feed himself as a toddler, he would always use his left hand. Once in pre-school he was adjusted to use his right hand. Because of that change, I feel he is so gifted at hitting left handed.

Alright, the kids have taken a bath and are now in bed. Jen is watching TV and I should get to bed!
