Jayden continues to *love* basketball. He is getting better at listening, not crying and even dribbling. It is seriously a comedy show watching his team. The coaches are patient and work really well with all of the kids. Even if all of them are rolling around on the ground.
Week 2 Jayden had a pretty big audience. His Great Grandma and Grandpa Acree as well as his Nana were up for a visit from Mt. Carmel. Poppy, GMA, Mollie and Madeline came as well. Of course, our little family was there too.
Jayden got to play A LOT. There were other kids crying and other kids who did not want to play, so Jayden took their place since they wouldn't go out on the court.
He dribbled the ball, ran with the ball, stole the ball, wouldn't pass the ball.........
attempted a shot at the basket.....no good!
He ran his little heart out!
Then it was his lucky break! He ran/dribbled down the court and lucky for him SLAM DUNK!
After jumping up and down as you saw in the video, he ran slightly past center court.
He stopped. He bowed. "Thank you, thank you!" he said to everyone cheering!
It was hysterical. I wish I would have kept the video ON!!!
After, we enjoyed lunch with out out of town family and the kids received their Valentine's Day gifts.
Thanks to everyone who came and watched Jayden, watched his video and to those who are helping him. He is loving going to the gym each week with his Dad and practicing at basketball school. I have really seen him shining since this started. I think it is exactly what we needed for our midwinter break.
It is funny that the kid who cried when I dropped him off at a babysitters house is the same kid who just can't get enough of the crowd at a basketball game. He sure is a character!
