Carson's Big Day

Last Tuesday was Carson's first day of basketball practice, that's what we told him it was. It is the same type of league he did for baseball called "smart start". They told us the intent of the program was for the kids to develop their motor skills.

But if you ask Carson it was basketball practice.....hehe. He got all dressed up in his basketball shoes and basketball shorts and he was ready to hit the hardwood. We showed up to the gym and Carson was grinning ear to ear. And to make things even better one of his little buddies from school was on the "team". Carson thought that was so cool!

They had five different stations set up: shooting, jumping, dribbling, dribbling while walking/running, and passing. They rotated through each station, spending like ten minutes at each one. Here are some pics of the big day.



All in all he really enjoyed his first day of basketball practice. He thought it was cool that he got to take home two basketballs and some cones. And he really liked the orange vest. We had to tuck it in or else he looked like he was wearing a mesh skirt....hehe. Once he figures out how to dribble.....you all better lookout!!!!! Hope you enjoy the pics.

Great pics! Carson looks so tall in them. Good call on tucking in the jersey. Those other kids look like they're going to trip on theirs. Does he have more "practices"?

Andi, they have like 5 or 6 "practices". Every Tuesday through November and like one in December. So yeah, fun stuff!! And I think the camera adds like 4 or 5 inches. I was comparing the height of his classmates today at school and he is one of the shortest kids. Let's hope he is gonna get a major growth spurt and not some of GiGi's height genes.... :)
