Our Little Spitfire

So the girls started a new basketball class this past Wednesday night. Sydney was SUPER excited because this was the first session she was FINALLY old enough to be able to play too. Granted her mommy had to beg them to let her in given the class is for four and five year-olds and the class started 6 days before she turned four, but it was so worth the begging. Both Lindsey and Sydney love the class. The pictures are not very good as the lighting was kind of weird, but you can see Sydney is the youngest and the shortest in the class, but that didn't stop her. The coach was teaching them to "seat belt their ball" meaning the kids all wrap their arms around their ball as seen in the picture above. This way the kids are listening to the coach and not bouncing their balls when he is trying to teach them something. At one point the coach said "seat belt your ball" and all the kids did it but the coach did not. He was holding his ball out while telling them something and all of a sudden we hear Sydney pipe up quite loudly "Hey, you need to seat belt your ball." The coach nodded his head and said "You're right" and proceeded to seat belt his ball. Leave it to Sydney, our little spitfire, who is not afraid to call it as it is.
