Jacob's First Basketball season

is going to be good, well, maybe I should say...interesting. He loves to play, but he needs some work. He did make his first basket today, unfortunately it was in the 30 minute practice prior to the game. Oh well, it's a start. Jacob has gone from a preschooler that was forceful and somewhat aggressive to a grade schooler who is afraid to knock the ball out of his opponents hand. We spent so much time when he was two and three working on behavior, not invading someone's personal space etc. and now it seems we're backpedaling, and he is not taking to it very well. He has turned out to be a very well mannered, soft spoken, sensitive little boy, which is great in every aspect of life, except for sports. Life lesson #978234768543456 never underestimate your child's potential. I was convinced that Jacob would be the "bully" but he is quite the opposite, now I just wish we hadn't made him such a softy, such is life I guess!






and a few of Jordan for good measure...
