Will had his first basketball practice tonight. I was a little nervous because all of the boys were SO big. My little 29 pound boy seemed so small next to the giants. Well, he did GREAT! He can't get the ball into the hoop, but he is great at defence! He had such great confidence in himself! When he was on offense (playing one on one) he dribbled it right to the hoop and shot. I was totally shocked. He seemed to really like basketball. He has his first game tomorrow.... after one practice!
The team huddle - Joe is one of the assistant coaches because we didn't know anyone involved in basketball at the Y.
Go Will!!! He was going in for a layup during the warm-ups.
Will playing defence! Great job buddy!
Our morning routine includes me getting Lauren ready and Will dresses himself. After both kids are dressed, I usually go and finish getting ready. This morning I came into Lauren's room after getting ready and I found the kids reading together in Lauren's chair. Will was reading Goodnight Moon to Lauren.
Jumping in the leaves together!

Will in the leaves with his rake and shovel. He loves to help me with my chores.
Okay, so those of you with boys will understand the fascination with guns. On this particular day Will make a gun out of two rakes and a shovel. 
Lining up before the game. Will's #5 again (he was #5 for soccer, too!)
The huddle before the game.
Will playing defence. He's really good at defence!
Will dribbling the ball down the court. We need to work a little on dribbling, but he tried really hard and he kept at it!
Go Will!!!!
