When Peanut was younger like 3 or 4 and she'd win a game or finish something first she would always say I win/won the trophy! Well, she played her first season of basketball this fall and they actually won a trophy (okay, every team gets a trophy). She was very excited and likes showing it off. She's proud of her first real trophy. Basketball was great, she really progressed through the quick season. She made several baskets and is a great dribbler. Basketball was always my favorite sport growing up & I'm really enjoying watching her play. I'm thinking of soccer for the spring, just to let her try another sport and see how she likes it. Just b/c b-ball was my fave doesn't mean it's going to be hers nor do I want to force it on her. But I have to say, I really like watching her play! Although, I have been playing soccer now for a whole year (spring, summer & fall seasons) and I love it. I was kind of disappointed I never gave it a shot as a kid. Although, now that I think about it I don't think they had a lot of soccer for girls when I was real young. I just want Peanut to try some sports and hopefully she'll find one that she likes and wants to stick with for a while. Go Purple Fireballs!
