Special Guests

Jackson has been so excited to have so many special people come and watch him play baseball. 

Grandma and Grandpa Olenech came to Jackson’s first game. Jack did great! He got the first two outs of the game playing first base. He was so excited to show grandma and grandpa how he plays coach pitch now.

After the game grandma and grandpa followed us home and had a very special present for Jackson (they say it’s an early birthday present). Jackson could not believe his eyes when he walked outside and saw his new four wheeler. Jackson has outgrown his gator and grandma and grandpa thought he needed a new ride. It goes pretty fast, 7mph, so a helmet is needed.

When he drives Aubrin on it we take the speed down to 5mph. Jackson was so thankful for his new ride.

Jackson’s kindergarten teacher also came to see him and his buddies play a game. Jackson LOVES his teacher Ms. Stachura. He was really surprised to see her. It was funny to watch his reaction and how he acted with her there. When it was his turn to bat he glanced over just to make sure she was watching. Then when he was running to first base he almost ran into another player because  he was watching Ms. Stachura the whole time. It was so wonderful of  her to take him out of her busy schedule to come and watch Jackson. He talked about it the whole way home.

Aunt Erin also came to a game. Jackson was thrilled that Erin was coming from Chicago to watch him play. For a week Jackson kept saying, “Is today the day Aunt Erin is coming to my game.”  Jackson played hard during the game and kept an eye on Erin to make sure she was watching his every move:)

 

Jackson is   loving his his baseball team. He is doing well and learning new skills. One of his favorite positions to play is catcher. I’m wondering when we will brake the news to him that lefty's don’t become catchers. Oh well, when your five, anything goes:) He also enjoys playing first base and pitcher. In his last game he was the pitcher. The batter hit the ball and Jackson caught it. He was looking around for the ball not realizing that he caught it. Once he realized it was in his glove he was so excited. His buddies ran in from the outfield to give high five’s.
