Hoop Star!!

Yesterday was Allison's second ever basketball game. Her first game was a struggle to say the least. She didn't understand the defense/offense concept. She was told to find the kid she was to guard and stay on them the whole time. So even when she was in offense, she would run straight to the kid and let them block her. It was cute. And then half the time she didn't even know which way to run. Yesterday's game was a huge improvement. She finally got the ball (of course I was struggling with my stupid camera and missed it on tape) but she dribbled for a little bit and then got nervous and threw it at the first person she saw - the other team. Oh well... her coach was like, "Allison!! Hey, try and remember to throw the ball to the ones in purple!!" HA! But she's so proud of herself. She got knocked down and has her first sport's injury - a raspberry on her knee. Anyway, they won and it was a great game. Her whole face was lit up and she came running to me after yelling, "we won!! we won!" I'm glad she finally found her niche. She's number 4 in the video - the littlest one in purple.
