Jensen didn't enjoy soccer at all last year but this summer we decided to try basketball at the Y. I think he might enjoy t-ball too but that is a lot of standing around plus I didn't want to sit outside in the heat of the summer. His basketball team is all 4yr olds and they play games on Monday evenings. From the start, Jensen went right out and played and wasn't shy at all. That is a huge change from last year! He has a lot of fun even though he has no idea what to do. Something unusual is that each kid wears a colored arm band and they can only guard the player on the other team with the same color. This gives the kids a chance to play without a big pile up on the kid with the ball. It confuses a lot of the kids though because they think that person is on their team. Jensen is very preoccupied by the arm band and is constantly messing with his while they play. His very first game was so cute because when the player he was guarding got the ball, he tapped the kid on the shoulder and asked for it. We laughed so hard about that one!! They don't even keep score though and everyone gets to play so it's all for learning. He has quite a cheering section with Mommy, Daddy, Jorden, Grandma and Grandpa, Mimi and Carrie and last week Jerry, Jamie, Jenna, Jillian and Julia whew!
He thinks you have to show the other person you have the matching arm band and he does it every game!
Baby brother Jorden is a great supporter and likes to watch Jensen play

He's taller than all the other kids but the two girls on his team play a lot better than all the boys!
