....is NOT Jilian's sport. She wouldn't shoot, she wouldn't dribble and finally I convinced her to shoot ONLY if I held her up to the rim. The little girl in the yellow shirt, Jilian's partner-Tinley, was precious. While they were huddled together getting instructions from the 'coach' - I use that term very loosely - she ran over to Tinley and wouldn't leave her side. They 'stretched' together, and when the coach asked everyone to grab a partner, they immediately held hands. It was so cute! So, then they had to bounce the ball back and forth to each other. They did pretty good. Jilian got distracted a little bit, but it was a lot to take in - even for the parents. I learned from Tinley's mom that she would only come if she didn't have to wear tennis shoes and could wear her Converse - a little girl more 'girly' than Jilian!
They had to line up on the line and dribble to the next line - about 15 feet - and then dribble back. Tinley had to go to the bathroom, and when she was gone, Jilian raced around the gym looking for 'her partner.' Too bad we won't be going back to see Tinley! (actually, Brad is going to try next Saturday - turns out, basketball isn't Mommy's sport either.) :)
