Emmett's Last Basketball Game of the Season

After three months of practices and games, Emmett wrapped up his second basketball season today with his final game.  Overall, Emmett has really enjoyed playing basketball during 1st grade year.  He was placed on the same team with a few boys from his school and was lucky to have a dad volunteer to be the coach who was really good at working with these young boys.  Besides missing one game due to the flu and a second game due to being in Portland for Ella's gymnastics meet, Emmett played in the other six games of the season.  He made baskets in every game except for one.  I know that I have said this before, but he is just so athletic at any sport he tries and dribbles, passes, and shoots with such ease compared to other players.  He made three baskets in his last game today and was so excited to get his trophy and a basketball-themed cupcake after it was over!
