basketball
Nov. 3rd, 2008 11:35 pmTonight was Samantha's first basketball practice. There were so many girls at last Saturday's sign-up that they created two teams. Sam got placed on the more athletic team; her two friends got put on the other team. I shared this observation with my Ex after I dropped Sam back at the house. I'm sure Sam has already noticed, I'm just wondering how much it matters to her.
Most of the girls played last year and it shows, which also means that it clearly shows that Sam did not. In spite of this, she still had a lot of fun and did her best to keep up. Practice was an hour and a half, and it didn't take her long to realize she could watch the other girls and quickly pick-up on what to do and, for the most part, how to do it.
She wasn't so engrossed that whenever she made a basket during whatever drill they were doing that she didn't forget to look over to see if I was watching, and to return my congratulatory smile with a big one of her own. She's definitely going to be more into basketball than she was field hockey.
I told her mom that this weekend I should take her out to get new sneakers. All the other girls had seperate "street" shoes and "game" shoes, and naturally, I think, Sam is going to want that too.
Remember to vote tomorrow! I have to go early because I have to register. It's one of the few things I didn't take care of when I moved, but in NH we can register on election day. I already checked the city website to make sure I know where to vote tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will be packed, so I better get off to bed.
