We signed Ethan up for basketball at our local YMCA in January. The first class was January 8 so he is truly the youngest in the class. We had no idea what to expect, but he was eager to try out his skills. Turns out, he didn't really have any skills, but it's been fun week after week to watch him improve! He loves his jersey and it's even cooler that it's reversible. He likes to show us and anybody else around that it's green on one side and white on the other.
Taking a little break before push ups. Ethan's are more like butt-ups, but he's working on it.
Ethan is second from the far end right next to his buddy Henry.
The kids each get a colored wristband and that's their group for the day. Often Henry and Ethan are sitting next to each other when their being distributed and end up in different groups. Today we realized that it is a good thing because those 2 are just too silly together to pay attention!
But man are they cute. Henry is moving to Maine next month and will be missed!
This was one of his first weeks. He's "dribbling" on the far side of the court. He does well when he's standing still, but has some work to do in the walking/dribble department.
Here's the little guy taking a shot. I love the deep squat wind up! It's an improvement over the underhanded shots he was taking in the beginning.
And here he is attempting a bounce pass. These have improved since this video too.
We are in a new session now and we take swimming lessons after basketball for a very full Saturday morning! He's doing really well in both and is really enjoying it.
