It's been a few months back, but one day while driving Molly who knows where, she told me she needed to tell me something. So, I gave her my full attention and looked back in the rear view mirror at one serious little face. She proceeded to let me know that she was ready to take a break from her gymnastics classes and that she had "really been thinking 'bout playing basketball." I was a little surprised because it's not something we had ever talked much about, but at the same time I was already excited because I LOVE me some basketball!! I played for lots of years and wish I still was!!! So, on with the story, after talking to daddy about it, we decided we would give it a go 'round.
So far, so good! Molly has now played 2 games and had numerous practices. She is really loving it! Even yesterday, she was watching football in the living room with daddy and she heard them say "defense" on tv. She perked right up and started yelling, "yeah, I know what that is! defense! defense!"
Today she asked if she had a game tonight because she was ready to play. There are 6 kids on the team and Molly is the only girl, but she doesn't mind a bit! She loves her coaches and they are really fantastic with the team...and I must say, 3 & 4 year olds basketball games are VERY entertaining. :) My sweet little #5...and yes she's in leggings! Her shorts are huge and even rolled up a couple times.
It's fun watching them just be kids and have fun. I took quite a few pictures at last weeks game and in almost every shot, the kiddos have big smiles on their faces. I love it.
So, without further ado, here are the Cavaliers!
Oh! I couldn't leave Aubi out of this post....this was later the same day.
She makes this face often...haha!
