The Surprise of Change

We drove over to Indiana to see Josh play basketball. Kevin was afraid if we waited, he wouldn't feel well enough to make the trip.

Our girls didn't play basketball which makes it easier to sit through a game with Kevin now. He's not constantly having to bite back a bit of advice or sit on his hands to avoid directing the kids to their various positions. Baseball and soccer can get lengthy when Kevin is battling his inner coach.

What Josh likes to do is run the length of the court and make a jump shot just before he careens into the padded goal stand. It doesn't really matter if he has the ball or not.

Keivn pointed out that last year it was harder for Josh to make that shot. He jumps higher this year; he's taller. A lot taller. I guess we knew that but I hadn't really seen it before today.

Changes, even those we expect, continue to surprise me.
