With all the snowfall this spring, Jonas has continued to play baseball. Very little practice but the games on the weekend seem to clear up and melt all the snow. This year he was assigned to a coach pitch team with a few players from last year t-ball. They are called the Scrappers again! Even though Jonas is the youngest on the team, he is playing 'up'. He hustles and is more focused than most boys. But in the end, the team works really well together and is learning a lot.
Opening day!
All the teams of the league lined up on the field to be introduced. Jonas was so proud to be out there!
Dinger(Rockies mascot) came to give them high fives. Last year Jonas was so excited to meet him, this year he was just as much enthralled.
The balloon release!
Getting ready in the dugout. Do you notice the name and number on Jonas' jersey? Todd Helton's number.
Jonas on deck
First hit at bat and he went for it! Wow!
Running the bases
Ready stance on 3rd base
Every player switched positions but Jonas really enjoyed playing 3rd base. He knew what to do and when the ball came to him, he stepped on 3rd base(there was an opponent on 2nd that had to run) and threw it to first base. Amazing! That little mind of his...always thinking of what to do next. Inquisitive!
Brother Silas, one of Jonas' biggest fan. He wore Jonas' jersey and hat from last year, and even wanted to wear a white turtleneck, just like his best friend and brother, Jonas:) What a champ!
