Emmett wore a pair of blue underwear his first game and now insists that they are part of his uniform. He is a natural athlete and received the game ball after their first game. His only problem is remembering which side his team plays on. He followed the red team into their dugout twice and it took him a while each time to realize that he wasn't wearing red.
McKay is completely aware of what's going on. He has to fake throw twice before throwing the ball to another player, hit the home plate twice before getting into batting position, and slide into home plate every chance he gets. On his last slide home he came up two feet short and had to scoot to touch the plate.
After he realized a game ball would be given to a player at the end of every game, every prayer included "and please help me get the game ball". I tried to help him change the wording to "help me play my best" and his response was "but I want the game ball". I guess it's good to be specific.

This brings back so many fond memories! It is great to have them participate in an organized team sport. They learn some very important life lessons, like which team they belong to! :)
