Jaxton and Cooper both played on an Upward Basketball league this winter. It was a significant year for both because they really learned a lot! This was Coopers second year playing. He's always been too small to make any baskets and went the entire season last year without scoring any points. He was ok with that last year. This year hectored so hard. Then on one particular game he scored 3 baskets in a row!!! He was on Cloud 9 and was so proud of himself!! Afterward the coach asked him what he had eaten for breakfast, and since the games are so early in the morning, he had had only time enough to shove down a piece of toast and a package of fruit snacks. So the coach told his team to make sure they all atev1 piece of toast and fruit snacks for the next game. Cooper truly believed it was what he had eaten and made sure to save a package of fruit snacks each Saturday. :)
This was Jaxtons first experience with Basketball as he'd never had any interest before. His body is bigger and stronger and capable now to make baskets. So he really excelled in learning how to shoot and how to block. More than anything, he really enjoyed being on the 1st grade team and spending time with his friends.
