The End to Another Season

In just the 2.5 years that Big C has been playing sports, we have seen the end to many seasons. We have seen the end of cello and swim lessons, the end of soccer and baseball seasons - today was the end of Upward Basketball season. I gently encouraged Will to coach Big C's first Upward basketball season and he graciously agreed - with the help of Poppy (who knows a "little" about basketball). Between the two of them, surely they could manage eight, eager and anxious kiddos who were excited to learn to play the game and just goof around! I would say, they did a pretty good job - for their first time around!

Competitiveness and aggressiveness are NOT part of Clayton's personality. Will says "He's not my child!" - Oops - must be my fault??? We have to convince (or bribe) Big C to take the ball, keep the ball, and then SCORE! He has improved (when he's focused), but most of the time, we're the parents yelling from the sidelines - Come on Clayton, get the ball! Shoot! Don't let him take the ball! Rebound!- you get the idea. Though basketball may not be his "thing", I am glad he was able to share in this experience with Will and Poppy.







At the end of each game, Poppy shares a devotional for the team. Little H gets to join in the lesson. - He thinks he's BIG!
