We're deep into our summer activities right now, which seems as good a time as any to catch up on winter sports in this house. Yikes! I'm quite behind on anything that's taken place in the last six months or so (I do have a decent excuse, I suppose), but I can't document Bridget's basketball season without a post for Megan!
Megan is terrific at basketball! Of course I would say that, being her mom and all. But, I promise I'm not biased on this one. She loves this game and truly excelled at it this year. She understands the game so much more than she did in kindergarten, and she just exudes confidence and aggressiveness. It's so fun to watch! And trust me when I say I never thought I would consider basketball fun to watch. Parenthood really does change everything!
Megan was a top scorer on her team, and such a good hustler. She scored a handful of baskets each week, and her confidence kept growing. During her season, she loved shooting hoops during Bridget's practices, but especially loved the basketball hoop we got at our house halfway through her season! Every night she would ask to practice while I made dinner. Since the hoop is in our front yard, it has been a leap of faith to let her play out there unattended. It helps that, as I'm cooking, I can hear the "thump, thump" of the basketball to know she's still there. Bridget is allowed out there with her as well, so they feel like such big kids!
I just love the girls on Megan's team. They all played so nicely together, and are just learning the ins and outs of when to pass to each other and when to shoot. There are lots of little conversations on the court in the heat of the moment, and it's funny to watch them choose whether to take all of the glory by shooting, or to work as a team. It's especially nice to know they'll be playing together for many years!
