Focus...Focus

This is a prime example of how our children learn.

Josh carefully showed Areyna how to hold the bat and explained when to swing at the ball.



Areyna's first attempt at it.
Just look at her form.
Pretty impressive if you ask me.
She is poised and ready.  You can just see her concentration!



Then there is Zeke 
*sigh*
After receiving careful instruction as to how to hold the bat and when to swing...



...he quickly became distracted by the ever-so-tasty 
"soury things" in the grass and couldn't resist.


Note the placement of the thrown ball, ha!

And this is why I am going to use different techniques while homeschooling these two:)

I am sure it will be such a learning process to know how to teach. I am impressed! It must be cool in Raleigh with the pants/long sleeves? It is 107 today in Dallas... no pants till October!
