Carley's first basketball season has finished. She really enjoyed trying something new...for once. Carley is A LOT like me in that she doesn't like to try new things. Her way of trying new things (and mine) is watching everyone else do the thing first and then practice on her own in private until she feels comfortable doing said thing in front of others. Carley has been wanting to try basketball for a year or two and I finally signed her up afraid that when it came down to it, she'd be too scared. After the first practices and game It was a struggle to make her go. We kept at it and finally she found her confidence. She came to the point where she loved going to practices and skipped happily down the court with a smile on her face during the games. I love seeing her grow!

Good for Carley to try something new! Our boys had their last Basketball games on Saturday and they really enjoyed it. It is so much fun to watch.
Good for her. I know what you mean--it is so satisfying to watch them grow in a skill. I feel that way with Belinda just TRYING OUT for a musical. I'm glad Carley had such a good time in the end. Way to go, Carley! :)
I'm glad Carley has such a good mother who can empathize and help her daughter develop good self esteem through successful attempts to develop skills. I'm hoping she'll love volleyball too! :-)
Those pictures are way too cute. Way to go Carley!!!
