It's been a while since the last post. Shiloh was playing soccer with the Pink Fairies at the time and I was coaching the team. She played again in the fall and this time I let someone else coach the team. She did okay, but clearly missed having Dad making sure her goal attempts remained at a sufficiently high quotient.
She is currently finishing up her first foray into basketball. the coaches are a husband and wife tandem that have a nice way of working with a group of five and six year old's. Shiloh has scored one basket in the 7 games played so far. When she scored it I figured she was on her way to scoring in every game. Not so fast there, buddy. She is not feeling the aggressive pursuit of the ball mindset that makes for effective point production. She actually gets a look of panic whenever a rebound is about to land anywhere near her. But it's okay. She has done well with dance classes and the soccer will continue. Our skill development in the back yard is going well with basketball and her dribbling is improving. If she decides it's not for her so be it. She gets so concerned whenever a player gets knocked down or hit in the face by the ball. It is a sense of dread, realizing that her time is coming. But there is absolutely nothing that bothers me in the least about her not continuing to play. We are enjoying the Oscars as I write this, with her emulating the song and dance numbers and admiring the captivating gowns being showcased. Ah, thank God for little girls...
