Basketball

We are two weeks into basketball and the girls are doing great. We are surviving practices and the crazy game schedule. Kevin and I would love to be at every game but that just isn't possible. The girls don't seem to mind and our schedule we have set up to switch seems to be working.

Madison is showing a new side to herself and her coach is really enjoying it. He told me at the beginning of the practices that he was going to get her to talk more and be more aggressive. Talking is slowly coming but being aggressive has arrived. She is really fun to watch. Her coach told me after the games that today was two of the best games that he has seen her play. I love to see how far she has come.
Madison is white #32.

I forgot how much fun it is to watch young kids play basketball. Ashley is so much fun to watch. She has been practicing for this since she could walk. She has always been so different from the other two. She has always gravitated to balls and cars. It has been fun to watch her become her own. Today in her game she scored two baskets and had several break a ways. She is also fun to watch on defense. I think she has a little advantage being the youngest because she gets to observe her older sisters before she tries something.

Allison is also playing her hardest. Her team has had a little bad luck and has two girls out one with a broken knee cap and the other with a broken arm. They are working around being down two players and really pulling things together. Allison is being played as a post and is working on learning the position. It will be fun to watch her learn a little more and get closer to full rules basketball.
