Basketball

We have started into the world of Basketball. This year both Madison and Zach are playing basketball, Madison decided not to do Ballet this year and try for some sports, this is Zach's second year playing basketball but it is still new to him. Madison does good for someone who hasn't played before, there are a few things that she has to remember and I think she didn't realize how much running it was. There are only seven girls on her team which means that almost all the girls play the whole game. They do take turns though sitting out if needed because we have one extra girl but unfortunately if we have two girls that are gone we have to reschedule the game because we can't play. Anyway Madison really enjoys it and I am glad. She isn't really aggressive but being aggressive really isn't Madison's thing but she is learning that in basketball she needs to be. Zach is doing good as well. He is still one of the smallest on his team but this year he is with kids from his school and it is boys that are in the first and second grade and they have alot of boys on his team. So all is going well and the kids are having fun and really that the most important thing anyway for right now. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Zach yet but when I get some I will post them.

Here is Madison and the girls on her team.
When I have to take Carson this is usually what I have to do to keep him occupied so he doesn't run around. It works sometimes.
Here she is getting ready
Madison is great at defense she blocks her person really great, she just has to remember to get infront of her person to block them not behind.
I find her sometimes with her arms crossed. She must not be working that hard
