Catch Daddy! and Slam Dunk!
From the time he started to play, Luke has loved to play with his football. It started with his football, and now, he loves his basketball. We moved a little basketball hoop from the deck into our house a month or two ago and it is now his favorite thing to play with. With the weather getting nicer, we've been spending more and more time outside. (He actually brings me his coat when he wants to go outside... a not so subtle hint he wants to go OUT and play!) Luke is fascinated by basketball. The other day, a neighbor's friend was out shooting baskets and Luke stood their, watching him. After a few minutes, he started reaching out his arms and saying "ahh, ahh" like he always does when he wants something. I went into the garage and got Jeff's basketball and he played with that a little but was still wanting to play with the other guy. Being a dad himself, the man rolled the ball to Luke. He immediately walked over to the hoop, and looked up, as if, "what do I do now?" The basket was SO high up there and he was used to his little basket. He actually kept trying to shoot and didn't get discouraged that it didn't come anywhere near the hoop. :) Today we got a chance to go out again, and of course the first thing he did was run over to the hoop. The difference was, Jeff was able to help him reach it today and he loved every minute of it!
