Kip the Baller

Remember this little guy?

Ugh! My heart.

Dan has been gently guiding Kip towards basketball since birth. 

 

 

And now the official training has begun! Kip started kindergarten basketball a couple of weeks ago through the youth sports association in town. "Practice" is two nights a week at the school and Dan gets to help volunteer. It is hilariously too many kids (like 25-30) and hardly anything gets accomplished, but Kip loves it so far. 

 

Keep your eye out for the pipsqueak blonde in the photos below.

Occasionally Dan will take Kip to the YMCA before swim lessons to play around in the gym a bit.

 

In true younger sibling fashion, Ivy wants to play "bak-it" ball too.

Even though it has only been a couple of weeks and Kip only gets to touch a ball for a combined total of five minutes at any one practice, he is actually improving.

Next week is the obstacle course "competition" and the end of the short season. But, at least we got a start and it is clear Kip loves the sport.
