Saturday Morning: Basketball

I've always asked Alexis if she would like to participate in activities. Now that she is in Kindergarten it opens up a variety of activities to participate in. When we got the slip for Dance, I had asked her (numerous times) if she would like to do that and she responded with a "No." I asked a few more times and every answer was "No."  I finally stopped and respected her answer.

Then, we got information on basketball. Without hesitation, she responded with "YES!" Now, every Saturday through February, Alexis is learning the fundamentals of basketball and she is lovin' every minute of it.

I am reminded of myself when I watch her and how proud Grandpa Ed would be of her. I hope she is able to find what she enjoys throughout her school years. Maybe she will stick with basketball maybe she will not. Either way, I will always be there cheering her on!
