Third Times a Charm

Callahan's basketball team won their 1st game today! So we are 1-2 . Callahan scored a basket. A little boy just needs to make 1 basket to feel like a million bucks. Cal
was under the basket and took a shot...the ball went straight up and straight down (back into his hands) He again threw the ball straight up and again it came straight down...into his hands. On his third try the ball went up and through the hoop to SCORE! I soooo wanted to win this game and don't care if they never win again. The opposing coach also coaches baseball though not Cal's team. His son is in Callahan's class and is nice enough(you don't get to pick your dad) This man is a lunatic, during baseball season they were killing us and he would scream at his players to knock our kids off of the base (after they were safe) and then tag them out. Hello they're 9. He is "that coach" dirty. Who teaches little kids to cheat?
They are 0-3 . Karma. As I sat there with the other moms (yes, we gossip and shared war stories about this guy) I couldn't help but notice how Kevin, our coach encourages the boys and gives them hi 5's, good or bad. When a child doesn't have his arms up to block Kevin gives a shout "Sam, show me how tall you are" and boom the kids arms go up with a smile.
Am I still hangin onto some resentments...maybe a little bit





Lining up to "nice game" the other team



A very happy little boy
