Our kids really haven’t shown much interest in sports. We talked to Jayden about trying basketball before she gets into Jr. High to see if she likes it. She thought it was a good idea and wanted to give it a try. Most kids start in the 3rd grade with practices and games. She also found out late that the season had already started and she missed 5 practices. That and the fact that we had not been playing or practicing at all at home worried me. I knew we were in trouble when I took her to the first practice and the coach told the girls to start with some lay ups. Jayden looked at me and said,”Mom, what’s a lay up?” Really she has done well and is picking it all up quickly. I am proud of her for trying and she has a happy look on her face as she practices. Jayden had her first game the day after her first practice, so she was a spectator.
