Last spring after a frustrating basketball season because of concussion and asthma, Allison decided that she was done playing basketball. We understood because it was such a hard season for Allison but we kind of have a rule that we would like our girls to participate in one sport a year. Allison thought about doing cross country but the air quality was so bad because of the wild fires she would have missed the first 2 or so weeks of practice and then it would not have been worth it. That then leaves tennis or track. She was thinking about track but decided to stick with basketball. She hasn't practiced since last spring and I was nervous sending her into to practice. And then a wild fire broke out in the mountains just north of the Treasure Valley and our air quality is worse then this summer.
Yesterday I did not think that she was going to try out. She called me three times from school in a panic because she was having such bad asthma attacks. Her teachers kept sending her to the nurse because her cough was so bad and disruptive during class. Well she stuck with it and made it to tryouts. When we picked her up yesterday she was feeling like she did pretty well considering the circumstances.
Today the air quality wasn't any better but she seemed to have her asthma under control better. When I picked her up she was happy to tell me that she made the A team with all of her teammates that she has played with since 5th grade. I am so glad that she decided to play one more year at least. I love watching her play.
Since she hasn't practiced in a while she is worn out. The first few weeks of practice are going to be hard on her.
Ashley brought her Idaho salt dough map home from school today. Since she is in a different school then her older sister were I worry that she is going to miss out on fun activities that they did. It has been fun to see what each girl created so I am glad that Ashley got to do one like her older sisters.
I love that they make learning so interactive. I know this is why my girls love school so much and do so well in school.
