Athletics

Dearest Jackson,

You are consumed by Spring sports right now and it feels like we take you to some sort of practice, game, or camp almost every day.  I don't mind though because it's your element and it's fun to watch you. 

Basketball recently wrapped up and your last game was a huge win!



Afterwards, your coaches distributed the medals.


Soccer is right in the middle of the season and you practice every Thursday and have a game each Saturday.  You get excited if your ball is chosen as the ball to use for the game!

Before each game, the players have to check-in with the referee.  Here, you are showing him your cleats.


 
Watching you play sports shows me a totally different side of you.  For instance, you are aggressive on the soccer field and you're never afraid to be in the action or go after the ball.  This trait alone could be why I think soccer is your best sport.

  

Next Saturday is Opening Day for the Spring baseball season and a busy season it is!  For the last month or so, we've had 3 practices per week.  Once the season is underway, we'll cut back to only 2 practices each week but have 1 or 2 games thrown in there as well!



And recently entering your sports schema, we have golf.  Grandpa signed you up for golf camp at their country club and you loved hitting the links each morning.  While you aren't a natural (I mean that in a loving way, darling.), you claim to love the sport and you're anxious to play on our [neighborhood's] golf course now!




While neither Daddy or I can take credit for your sports skills, we're trying to nurture them the best we can.  We'll always be your #1 fans!
