Well here is a small milestone at the DKNI household - Nate has decided to play basketball on a team. That's right - a team sport. Why is this a big deal, you ask? Nate has been vehemently opposed to team sports for all of his short life. Flat out refused to play his beloved sport of baseball last spring and was in tears at the mere mention of having a (gasp) coach, and (gasp gasp) team practices.
Growing up, a little peer pressure, and a boy in his class that he idolizes and we are signed up on a YMCA team with 8 of his classmates and 4 other local kids. They had their first practice today with their coach and 2 assistants. It was a bit chaotic but they managed to get in some dribbling, passing and shooting practice as well as scrimmage. Nate is by far not the most skilled player, but does well and seems to really enjoy it. My 'helper' and I got a few blurry shots off before the camera battery died - more to come in a week or two.
Oh, and a boy after my own heart - it's all about the new shoes. That put him over the top!
