Isaiah was in the rec center's kindergarten basketball this fall. Even though he technically isn't in kindergarten he met the age requirement so it worked for him! (I'm not sure he was supposed to be in, so don't tell the rec center!!). He LOVED each and every practice and was sad when it was over - it was every Saturday morning from October 29 - December 10. He did a really good job listening to his coaches and doing (or at least trying) what they asked of him. I could tell improvement in many of the skills he worked on each practice - especially dribbling. The kids were each assigned a team and a team color, but they only played short games (like 20 minutes) at the end of the last couple practices. Isaiah's team named themselves Blue Storm. Levi made it to each of his practices with Mark and I and was a good boy having to sit and watch all the kids having fun playing basketball while he sat and watched. My sister and her daughters made it to one of his practices and both my parents made it to a couple too - it was nice for Isaiah to have family support! I'm sure this is the first of many, many seasons of different sports for Isaiah since he seems to love just about every sport he's ever tried... he's already excited about soccer coming up again this spring!
By the way - he was definitely one of the smaller kids there so it confirmed to me that it was a good choice to have him start kindergarten next year.
