gym rats

Kase and I are gym rats.

OK, that might be a SLIGHT exaggeration.

We've attended our fair share of games this year, but we could have attended more if Kase cooperated more.  He usually only makes it to halftime before he's itching to get out and run.

We have a pretty great routine. We get to the game early so Kase can run around on the gym for awhile.  He loves to pull all the balls off of the racks and make Mommy chase them.  It's funny...for him.  We never leave the house without two very important items: Kitty & Puppy.

When the girls come out to warmup he LOVES to watch them, first starting by watching from the bench.  

Then he gradually moves to standing on the court (the closer the better) 

and, of course, giving them high-fives.  

Once game time starts, he's strapped in and ready to eat!  Mommy's a fast learner, and I know my kid.  I know that if Kase doesn't have activities and food to occupy him, it's going to be DISASTEROUS.  I bring his chair, strap him in, and let him stuff his face with grilled cheese & french fries. 

Once halftime starts, he's done.  

He's done watching the game.  

He's done sitting.  

The boy wants to run.

So, we run.

Occasionally I'll get the chance to see the score of the game during the second half, but that's rare.

Tonight's game was Senior/Parents Night.

The 6 seniors on Keith's team this year have been with Keith from the beginning of his coaching career.  They were his first JV team, and then moved to Varsity the next year when he became Head Coach.  These 6 girls are incredible.  I would be proud to have any of these girls in my family.
