Last Saturday Coy and I spent the morning watching my seven year old nephew Elliott play basketball! It was adventurous to say the least! I am one of the biggest supporters of my nieces and nephews and watching this basketball game was no different! The kids were all so fun to watch...double dribblng left and right, running with the ball without dribbling, running to the wrong end of the court...the list could go on and on! Then there was the issue of the other boy guarding Elliott...he was holding both of the Elliott's hands behind his back, giving him Indian burns on his arms, and pushing him. I was about to lose it, when luckily this little boy got removed from the game and when he returned later was guarding someone else! (Luckily...because Aunt Missy would have had to step in).
Although there was some humor involved, Elliott did such an amazing job and I think he may have a future in basketball. He made four baskets on Saturday - and everytime I nearly had to be restrained because of my excitement!
Coy and I did learn however that it will need to be many, many years before any of our own future children can play sports because we are just WAY to into it and will need to calm down before our own kids are our there doing awesome OR being picked on by someone else!
(the little boy in the blue was the over aggressive one
blocking Elliott for the first quarter!)
(we were all decked out in our Indiana gear for the IU vs KY game later that day! Which was one of the best games I have witnessed in my entire life!)
