Dribbling...kind of

Parker completed his second basketball class this past weekend. It was an impromptu "class" a friend of ours offered to teach kids basic basic bball fundamentals at a nearby athletic club. Anyway, Parker really enjoyed it and says his favorite thing about basketball is "dribbling".

He's been using some new buzzwords around here like: scrimmage, defense and foul!

The coolest thing about it in my eyes happened just this week. We've been experiencing unusually warm weather (mid 70's) and most afternoons this week have been spent out in the culdesac playing with all the kids on our block. Some of the older boys (3rd-5th graders) were playing basketball. Normally, Parker would be content to watch the big kids from the sidelines but on Tuesday....he just jumped right in. He felt so confident after just two basketball classes. It was fun to watch.
