One thing I have noticed about parenting as the kids get older is that there are a million activities for them to get involved in. Soccer, gymnastics, t-ball, ballet, art, chess, basketball, swimming, etc., etc., etc. It can get a little overwhelming and kids can get too over programmed. It has the potential to take over the day running kids around town. They can't always do everything they want to do, and, it can be hard to find that thing that each child really loves to do. For Eli, it has been swimming (lessons to start this spring) and basketball. He really has no interest in soccer or t-ball, but he loves basketball!!!
He loves to play defense!
He actually got pretty good at knocking the ball out of the opponents hands without fouling!
He likes to dribble and shoot - but we do need to work on that a bit -- we may need to invest in a big kid adjustable basketball goal for our back yard!
So happy getting his medal and his team picture! He has been on this team with several of the same boys for 3 years, and he's got a couple of really dedicated coaches!
