It’s basketball season again. Jackson’s got the same coaches as he did last year and we’re having another great season. He’s improved quite a bit from last year, but he still has a lot to learn. How can he be so aggressive with his brothers and so timid on the court? He is finally acting a bit aggressive during our practices. That’s a start, I guess.
We found out last week that Jackson is dyslexic. The school has a pretty good program, so hopefully we’ll be able to get him the help that he needs. I keep reminding him that this doesn’t give him an excuse not to do something, it just means that he may have to work harder than others. Then the third grade had a benchmark test in reading. Jackson only missed 2 questions and made a 94! He was so proud of himself, and so was I!!
Kiel’s school started basketball last week. We’re not sure when his first game is, but he’s enjoying the practices. I know he’s hungrier than usual on days they practice. And in case you are curious, a 13 year old boy is ALWAYS hungry. Even if he looks too thin!
