basketball

walker played basketball at the Y in the 4-5 year old league. it was fun for him but definitely a bit more challenging than 3 year old soccer was this past fall. most of the kiddos were at least a head taller than him which was frustrating for him and us at times. once he learned the concept of passing it away when he was stuck his frustration pretty much left and he was happy on the court most of the time.

he ended the last game happy and confident which is all you can ask for when it comes to sports.

a few funny quotes from walker during basketball:

did you see me shoot that ball, it didn't go in because i was too strong, i shot it up TOO high to make that basket.

is the tall boy here today?

is this a game or practice?

monster and tall man on defense

i was taller than that one boy. probably because he didn't eat his veggies.

running from end to end and each time either running and sliding on the court or running right into the padding of the basketball goal pole (on purpose of course!)

mom "walker, you played awesome today. you are so good at basketball"

walker "yes, I am awesome."
