The Next All Star!

Ainsley started her basketball career this weekend! She is playing on a team with the kids from her class. They had one rather comical practice and then we were told that they had their first game the following Saturday! We were not sure how it would go, but the game was actually quite impressive. They stopped the game often for "teachable moments" which I was very happy about.
Ainsley did a great job running back and forth and handling the ball.
She also spent quite a bit of time chewing on her piggy-tail, so I will need to french braid her hair next time!

And her idea of "guarding" a boy seems to involve quite a bit of flirting...

And she also spent a decent amount of time watching the game clock and anticipating the buzzer... and covering her ears.

But overall she was a great team player!
