Go Jayhawks!

This year Joe started playing on a basketball team! He's the youngest by far (most of the other kids are in 1st grade) but he still holds his own pretty well. Although I'm not a huge sports fan, I really enjoy watching him play basketball. WAY more than baseball which was like watching paint dry while you sit on a bed of nails having your eyelashes pulled out one by one. The only thing I wish is that their practice arena was more condusive for the babies. They don't want to sit for an hour and watch big brother have all the fun, and don't understand why they can't go play too. There just isn't any room at all in the small gym for them to run around so it ends up stressful for me sometimes. I've discovered the coach doesn't like them tripping the players or stealing their ball. What a pill.

His coach is pretty tough, which I like. He's very good at giving tons of compliments as well so there's a nice balance. when Joe did a good lay-up the coach said "Atta Boy Joe!" and Joe told me on the way home, "Did you hear what Coach Jerry said to me? he said 'Atta Boy Joe!' I think he likes it when I make points." I had a little video, but my camera ate it. here are a couple pics, and I'll try to get a video at this weeks game.
Go #30!
