More Basketball

I tried to put pictures that didn't really show faces very well, but I had to show that first picture because it was so good!  We are really proud of him for his good attitude and sportsmanship!  Even at this young age we have seen a lot of aggression (in a bad way) and parents that can't handle being part of a team.  Thankfully our whole team was great....parents and kids!  We are so thankful for an awesome experience this season!  And now, we start flag football.  Our Friday nights and Saturday mornings will be consumed through November.  So far we know that at least 2 or 3 other kids on the football team were on our basketball team.  I hope we have another great experience!

The last game

Andrew's last basketball game was this past weekend.  It was a lot of fun and the season went by really fast.  He really enjoyed playing and improved so much from the first practice, even the coach mentioned that today!  I haven't even shared any pictures from his game on here b/c they have other kids in them and I don't have their permission to share.  I do have a couple pictures from the team party and the trophy (which is huge)!

 Poster I made for the game.  The coach asked us to make posters to hold up at the game and at the party when he gave the kids their trophy. 

 The coach called each child's name and they ran around the room while all the parents clapped and cheered and then back to the coach for the trophy.  He had 5 kids that started each game and Andrew was one so he started with him by calling them his starting lineup.  He then said something about Larry Bird wasn't even as good as Andrew at his age.  It was a lot of fun to hear what he had to say about each player.  He was really creative and made it a lot of fun!

 Andrew wasn't too sure about shaking his hand, or maybe he just didn't know what he was supposed to do!

 The trophy was huge!  Makes our t-ball trophy look tiny!

Basketball

Andrew is #15 on the Lakers.  He is having a lot of fun playing.  The coach gets a little excited and isn't very good at losing (and we lost today)!  Andrew wasn't feeling well and didn't play much today b/c he was completely out of it.  He had to get a shot yesterday at the doctor during his well visit.  On a good note, his ears are clear!  Also, he made a basket today!  Way to go Andrew!!!!!
