Sydney Basketball

We are in the mist of a new basketball season. As you may recall, Sydney's rookie basketball season didn't go so well. To read about it.. CLICK HERE. In fact, he didn't make a basket the entire season. He definitely got discouraged, and quit trying. Not unlike some early entrants in the NBA draft, Sydney just started playing while he was too young. And that is on Mom and Dad. We miscalculated, and started Sydney a FULL YEAR earlier than we started Casey. And at age 3-4, what a difference in maturity (both physical and mental) a whole year makes.

So that brings us to today. He donned his old #24 uniform, and played the whole game. He smiled and laughed while playing! And... he made his first competition basket. Yup, that's right, he made a basket during the game! Actually, now that I think about it, it was his first basket ever, of any kind.. Practice, game, shoot-around, anything.. To have it happen during his first game of the season made it that much more special!

Congrats Sydney!!
