Reger Family Blessings 2: Eli's First Basketball Game

Eli is now officially a basketball player! He has been waiting for this moment for a few years and I think his daddy has been waiting even longer! He had his first game on Friday and he did great! This was the first game situation where they had offense and defense so it took a few minutes for all the kiddos to get the hang of whet they were supposed to do. I really like the Upward program. At this level there are no refs and no stealing and it is more about learning the game. The coaches made sure that each player had plenty of opportunities with the ball. They dribbled down the court and made their shot. Eli ended up making 3 baskets and each time he would look for us in the crowd with the biggest smile on his face. He had the best time and is so excited for his next game! I am so proud of my big guy!
And as a bonus to all of this, I think Isabel is a natural born cheerleader! As we were cheering Eli on and reminding him to go to the basket she started jumping up and down saying "Go to the basket, Go to the basket" over and over. It was too cute!
