The joy of parenting

I found these old pics, thought they where funny, and wanted to share. They're from 7 years ago, when my daughter was 5, and I was coaching her in basketball.

 

I don't remember the specifics, but they where shot in sequence, starting with me giving her what I'm sure was some brillant piece of coaching.

 

She still plays ball, so it must not have been that bad.

My twins turned 7 today and love basketball. I might need ot hit you up for coaching advice Brian.

Brian,

 

Heh...it looks like a sequence of:

 

1. (Dad) - Here's what I'm going to demo...

2. (Daughter) - Oh there he goes...

3. (Daughter) - Yep, he missed the basket again...

Very possible FC.

 

Another good guess would be:

 

daughter: "Is it time for snacks yet?"

dad: "No, it's only halftime. Get some water and then go shoot around".

daughter: face into hands...

 

Dave,

 

At that age, just keep it fun so they'll want to keep playing. Try to avoid thoughts of the WNBA until they're at least 10.

 

If they want to play organized now, put them in a coed league. My daughter's first all girls team wasn't until she played on her 6th grade school team as a 5th grader. You could really tell which girls had played with boys before, and which had not.

Wonderful, going back in time !!! Coached my 3 daughters in fieldhockey, the same moving experience, not only from them but from their teammates too. They are so small and the ball or the playingfield is SO big........ A lot of them are among my Facebook friends nowadays:good: and my eldest daughter (18 now) still plays hockey.

 

Houdoe,
