On November 7th Ethan had his very first Basketball game. Brandon has been stressed about basketball because they had only a couple of practices and he is trying to figure out how to teach them all the fundamentals of Basketball and he feels like he has to deliver because all the parents are watching him. The stress level for him has gotten a little lessened as the season has gone on but for the first 2 practices and the first game he was pretty stressed. The first game went about how you would expect it to. The boys on both teams were just getting the hang on how the whole game worked. So there was a lot of whistles blown for traveling and double dribbles and a bunch of stuff. We kept wanting the refs to just let the boys play and have fun, but, I guess they are trying to help the boys learn as well. Ethan did about as well as he did the first game of soccer. He likes to just run and see how fast he can go and he holds his hands behind his back as he stands there watching what is going on. Maybe he is still a little too young for all of this sports stuff. Or it will be good for him and he will be ready to really play next year. At least he has fun. He always says that he is having fun when we ask him so I guess that is all that matters.
The kids line up before starting each time and point to who they are going to defend. haha It is pretty cute watching these little kids pointing on both teams to who they are going to defend. haha
The pictures are not the best but I didn't bring my big camera since I had to man the video camera as well. So at least I got some pictures of Ethan and Brandon's first Basketball game this year.
On a side note. The next game that Ethan played was while Brandon was out of town and Ethan was passed the ball and dribbled it really well down the court and then passed it. It was so good to see him actually get the ball and to see how good he is getting with dribbling.
