It's basketball season around here and we have 3 boys playing. This means we are crazy busy with practice and games. Here is what our week looks like. Tuesday night Case and Ledger have skills clinic from 6:30-7:30. Brody has skills clinic from 7:30-8:30. Wednesday night Ledger has practice from 5:30-6:30 while Brody has practice in Dobson Ranch from 6:15-8:00. Thursday night, Case has practice from 6:30-8:00 while Ledger has skills clinic from 6:30-7:30 and Brody 7:30-8:30. And finally, Brody has practice Friday night at Dobson Ranch from 6:15-8:00. Saturday's are filled with 3 hours of games which make for a long and crazy day of running from one game to the next.
This is Ledger's first year playing basketball and it is the funniest thing you have ever seen. It literally takes every ounce of concentration Ledger has to dribble the ball down the court. Forget trying to make a basket into an 8 foot hoop, it's impossible for a kid Ledger's size.
Today Ledger had his first game at Highland Elementary School, the school that I went to for 2nd-6th grade. It was so fun watching Ledger try to figure out how to play the game. They only had 1 practice before this game so Ledger did a lot of observing. He thought he could play the game with his hands in his pockets but quickly realized that wouldn't work.
The good news is he has 7 more weeks to learn the game. He was thrilled to play his first game and is loving the new sport. I think once he catches on to how it all works he will really like it.
Loved watching these 2 hold hands as we left the game. Miss B. was so proud of her big brother. She told him, "Ledger, you are my favorite brother." We'll see how long that lasts.
