A Basketball Boy!

Our little boy had a basketball hoop hanging on his crib since I was 5 months pregnant. Then for his first birthday we got him a little hoop and he has been playing basketball games with his Dad in the front room (Yes we keep the hoop in the front room!!) for a long time. He will only wear basketball jerseys and occasionally another sports affiliated shirt. All winter he wore a basketball jersey OVER sweats or even jeans! What I am trying to say is it was time to get him a real hoop and for his birthday we did. We made him close his eyes and come out to the driveway. When we told him to open his eyes I was standing there with the camera so he just looked and me and gave me a big cheese without ever looking at the hoop! Once he saw it we haven't been able to keep him from it. First thing in the morning he comes in our room dressed in a jersey and says I'm going to go play basketball. It is so fun to watch him and he makes a lot of shots.
