Basketball

Kyle and Emily's basketball season is nearly over, but they are having fun. The other day, I took Kyle outside to shoot some hoops and teach him some dribbling moves. (Emily was at a friend's house.) I taught him a spin move and he was a quick study. He was so happy to use it in practice and the game. He gets a big smile every time he does it. Some times it's more successful (maintains better control) than others, but it sure wowed the other kids because defense at this age consists of standing there in front of the dribbler and then the dribbler stops at the defense. But with the spin move, Kyle can keep going and the kids don't know what to do with it. 

Emily gets to dribble the ball down court from time to time. She is so giddy when she gets to dribble. Here she is trying to get a pass off after encountering the defense.
