Basketball

We are about to conclude our second go at basketball this week. It has been so much fun for Landon this time. We have a couple of church friends that are playing with him and so he doesn't actually cry each time we have to go. Our last attempt at this, we signed him up in some rand0m league, that was a far drive for us and as some may know, Landon doesn't like new things. It was a tough thing to do each week, so I am so pleased that he is having fun this season. It is so cute to watch him since he is not aggresive in the least bit, so unless someone hands him the ball, he doesn't get much ball time. He pretty much wanders around the court, waving at Steve and I. When he does actually take a shot, make it or not, he looks at us for approval, like "did you get a load of that shot?" How fun it is to see him make progress socially and to improve in something he really loves to do. He has really come out of his shell socially. I still remember him in January playing in the other league, walking up and down the court chewing his nails. The ref looked at him and told him to run to the other end of the court and he burst into tears and never went back on the court that game. Now he runs out there, listens to his coach, occasionally trys for a rebound, and just is having a blast. Too cute! (sidenote: people think he is the oldest on the team, since he is by far the tallest, at least they don't think there is something mentally wrong with my super shy 4 year old who is playing with 5 and 6 yr olds! Hahaha!)
