Haha..this was so funny!
Tanner came in second during a speed drill so he had to do situps. This was what he looked like after doing 3!
Tanner just finished up his first season of playing basketball. He LOVED every minute of it and we loved that we were able to have him play and be able to watch him. The school district had the 3rd and 4th graders together and my little Tanner looked so little next to all of them! Tanner has had lots of practice with the hoop at our old house and playing with Jared. He did so great! I was thinking he might be kind of a ball hog(he knows he's good) but he is a great team player. This session was considered non competitive. They had 2 practices and a short game each week but didn't keep score. Tanner did though and was sure to tell me the stats in case I wasn't sure. X-)
At the start of each practice the teams would stretch together and Parker would be right next to me copying all their moves. It was so cute. Parker loved watching and cheering Tanner on each week. It was an awesome experience and we plan on signing Tanner up for WHAM basketball in January. Tanner is super excited and so are we. I have realized how much effort and money goes into having kids in sports but oh it is soooo worth it. Tanner gets to have fun, learn to be part of a team, he gets to win games, he gets to lose games, he learns that everything takes practice, and he learns to be active and to take care of his body. I am already getting excited for Parker to be old enough to play soccer! Tanner played when he was 3 and it was the cutest thing ever! Jared and I know it's important to make time for fun activites for the kids. It has been a great outlet for Tanner. He is so full of energy and this sure helped him show us all he can do. He smiled sooo much every day he went. In fact all the boys loved going. I hope they can all learn to appreciate exercise, having fun and being healthy.
