Noah saying, put me in Dad... I want to play!
John inbounding the ball.
Coaches Rick and Randy inspiring the boys.
John passing the ball instead of shooting, like he was instructed to do. (We were up by 25 points at this point)
Baby Ben had an appointment at Hand Prints and Foot Steps, a pediatric therapy clinic in Lincoln. He was evaluated for positional plagiocephaly - aka a stiff neck. They thought maybe he could not turn his head to the right very well due to tight muscles. They found that while he can turn his neck farther to the left than he can the right, it was not really a big problem. He is also to the age where he is not about to let anyone stretch him out, so we will just keep trying to make him look to the right more by putting his toys on his right, laying him on his right, etc.
Here is a picture of Ben enjoying his bath.
Noah also had a pretty good week. While he is still struggling with the thumb sucking, he is at least trying. He went to sleep 3 night in a row with out sucking his thumb. He still woke up in the night and took his glove off, but at least we know now that he can do it. We are very proud of his efforts.
Here is Noah snuggling with his baby brother.
John also played in Syracuse yesterday. They played two back to back games against Syracuse's A and B squads at 8:30 in the morning, ugh! They won the first game by 4 points, but lost the second game by 4 points. Overall they did really good. When they listened and executed their plays well, they got an open shot every time. They did not always make the shot, but hey, they are only 4th graders. The point is just to learn and have fun.
We are off to another game in Louisville now. They are always very tough competitors, so hopefully we can stick with them.
Good luck with the basketball games! I love that picture of Ben in the bath tub, so sweet!
