The basketball season has come and gone, and we survived. I actually really like basketball, but there are always exceptions it seems.
Truman is seriously the most painful child to watch play basketball.
He has still not figured out how to play. Every time he got the ball he would do this, hold it protectively until someone took it away from him.
There were other times that he would jump up and down like he is about to in this picture. They don't call traveling in this league, or he would have had it called every time. Now you have to understand, these things are things he would do, when he wasn't begging his coach to take him out because he was too tired. Seriously painful!
Dillon on the other hand is a ton of fun to watch. He gets the game, and may not be the best, but tries with all he's got.
His team was pretty good this year they only lost one game. He is getting better at handling the ball and shooting. I am proud of the way he gets the game. He picks up on the other teams plays and uses it against them.
I know I should be a better mom and tell you both of them are fun to watch, but I'm not! My kids can always count on me to be honest. Basketball is not for everyone! Maybe next year I will do myself the favor of not signing Truman up.

Cooper is the only one of our kids who played basketball. When he was younger it was always funny to watch. He never got great at it or even that good. He's a little bit like Truman. Whenever he got the ball he was always looking for someone else to throw it to. He never dribbled. He wasn't bad on defense. Last year was the last year he played.
That picture of Truman clinging to the ball is hilarious. (much funnier from far away I'm sure)
You are right.. not everyone can be good at everything. I believe that you can always be proud if you try your hardest and work at things whether it comes naturally or not.
Well, he may not be good at basketball, but he's got the hugging the ball thing down to keep it away from others. maybe football...but then there's that " take me out I'm tired deal" .
So...chess?
