Our Little Athlete

Tyler loves going to basketball practice every Saturday and he's doing great. He's a good defender, an excellent dribbler/passer, an awesome rebounder, and most of his shots are nothin' but net. Oh, and he runs FAST. The second his team takes a shot at the basket, he's already on his way, full speed ahead, to the other end of the court. As soon as he gets there, he immediately gets into his "defense stance" (arms in the air, legs spread) and waits for his chance to either steal the ball or rebound a missed shot by the other team. A couple of the other parents were surprised by his speed and by his knowledge of the sport--maybe all of those hours spent in front of the TV with Dave watching endless b-ball games are paying off. :) We're told that he's going to be a dynamite player when he gets older; hopefully, his love of the sport continues to grow!
