Aaron’s first Upward season concludes

Aaron’s Upward season-end party was tonight at Pizza Inn.  (I’ll skip the restaurant review.  Pizza Inn is Pizza Inn.)

This was Aaron’s first time playing organized basketball, and I’m proud of how well he did.  He really wants to get things right, and that includes protecting the ball when navigating up to take a shot.  (His coach told us he hadn’t taught him that, because “they’re not supposed to be able to get that at this age.”)  Well, that’s cool.  He watched Nathan a lot, and I don’t think Lea or I knew we weren’t supposed to be teaching him that.

Speaking of, we really appreciate the time and effort Coach Jimmy and Coach Holly put in.  They related to the boys marvelously, and the end product looked a lot more like a basketball game than did the beginning.

Couple of weeks off, and then on to spring soccer we go!
