Basketball

 Porter just started Basketball and his first game was Thursday. It was a bit of a cluster and pretty funny to watch. They give the kids arm bands and then have them guard the kid on the other team with the same color arm band. They don't keep score and don't really call anything they are just trying to more or less teach them about dribbling and passing. The basics.
 Porter took a shot from about half court, we had to remind him he wasn't Jimmer. He is learning though and had so much fun. He really loves all sports and making friends with teammates. He has pretty good hand-eye coordination and has been coming home from school and practicing dribbling in the garage. As soon as he gets the idea of dribbling with his fingers and can control it better I think he will have basketball in the bag.
This is porter and his good friend Jackson. I wish I could have posted some pics from while they were actually in the game but my battery died in my camera so they all turned out to be dark and fuzzy. But there will be more games and more posts to follow.
