Was that Tyler?

Tyler's second favorite sport to play is basketball. Last year he had no clue what to do with the ball and he mostly just nervously picked at his hand and ran away from the ball. We didn't know what to expect out of him this year but he insisted he was "good!" Being the ever encouraging parents we agreed then secretly look at each other and laugh. This year his coach is teaching them "plays" He says the play name and they all dispurse to their appropriate position. That was incredible enough for us but to make it even more incredible was he made Tyler the shot man! We watched as they practiced this move in practice and thought well that is a nice thought but it will never work, they are 6 years old! Boy were we wrong! His first game was Saturday and it started a little rough as Tyler has to ease into unfamiliar surroundings. After that we didn't even recognize him! Our shy, timid, unagressive boy was a maniac on the floor! He was swatting and actually stealing the ball from the other team. The coach yelled the play names they have learned so far and all the boys did exactally what they were supposed to do, we were amazed! Tyler even made a basket! He was so intense but most of all he had FUN!!! We realize it is the first game and reminded ourselves that last year they won the first game and lost the remaining 10 so we are still hoping that this first game is the start of a second career in sports for our little man. Oh did I mention he is the second tallest on his team!

Getting the rebound!
Dribbling down court (see the tounge? He can't do anything without it out!)

He shoots, he scores!
