Anna had girl scouts last night so Ian and I got some “hangout time”. It was really fun. There was a slight drizzle coming down. We were going to go for a walk, but after Ian got in the double stroller, he discovered a basketball and decided to play the “throw the basketball in the street” game. I finally redirected him to the neighbor’s house where they have a full size basketball hoop. He tried to make some baskets and really enjoyed it when I made baskets. By now it was starting to rain a bit more.
I redirected him back down to our house (under no small amount of protest) and I got out our kid-sized basketball hoop. He had a blast shooting baskets in our driveway. Though he was only pointing at the hoop for about 10% of the shots. The rest of the time, he was just shooting into the air. It’s pretty cool to see what kind of control he has with a ball at 20 months.
It finally got to pouring down rain. Ian was soaked and covered in dirt and gravel from having fallen down a bit. Nonetheless, he didn’t want to stop. I finally convinced him to climb into the stroller by putting the basketball in the other seat of the stroller. With that, Ian, basketball, and I walked to Payless and picked up some groceries.
