Another Win!!

Today the Clone Troopers pulled out yet another win. The first half was close though and it wasn’t until half time that we realized our hoop was several inches higher than the other team’s hoop. The error was fixed, not that it helped us since the teams trade ends of the court at half time. But our lead lengthened substantially with the correct hoop height and we blew the other team away, as usual.

So proud of Jakey.

He has evolved so much since the first game where he just ran back and forth and picked at his fingernails the whole time. He still gets confused about whether he’s on offense or defense sometimes (heck, in all the excitement, I can’t keep it straight either) but when he knows he’s on defense, he gets intense and he’s really going after those rebounds now. Today he fought for several rebounds and got a couple jump ball calls. And he chased a ball out of bounds on his knees and was really proud of the strawberry burns he got for his efforts.

He loves basketball!!!

Here is is about to shoot the ball...



And this is where I got so excited that I put down the camera and started cheering like a crazy mom. The shot didn’t go in but it hit the rim and it was the first time he’s shot the ball since he made a basket in his very first game.
