so, if you haven't noticed, there's been a lot of basketball on tv lately. we normally don't have the tv on while cash is awake but did have it on for march madness. i would be remiss and get made fun of by my husband if i didn't go ahead and admit right now that i don't care about
cash l-o-v-e-s basketball. any time we go to the park where there is a rec center for kid basketball and an adult court outside all he wants to do is watch the people playing basketball. he doesn't care about the swing or slide too much. he wants to watch basketball and play with a basketball.
his favorite word is "ball."
he has his own basketball hoop - three in fact - one in the tub, a smallish one hanging on a cabinet and a big plastic one that will grow with him that we can keep indoors or out.
he has ball decals on his wall and the first thing he says in the morning is "ball" while pointing to them.
when he was just a day old in this picture:
jason was concerned that his arms were too long for his body but then we thought, wow, i guess he'll just make a great basketball player!
i think you get the picture but again, back to the point of this post.
last night cash brought me the tv remote (not the one we lost although we did find that one!) and kept saying "ball, ball." i thought he just wanted to play ball so i put down the remote and "dribbled" one of his many balls to his hoop like normal, slammed it into the hoop and celebrated like we always do. he went straight for the remote and again said "ball ball." after about a minute i realized he wanted me find basketball on the tv for him to watch! so i did and luckily the ncaa women's final game was on. he was happy.
this morning jason is home with him because he had a fever yesterday and he called me while i was driving to work and said that cash has been crying and pointing at the tv saying "ball, ball" for the last 15 minutes. so he found a basketball documentary on for him to watch. we plan to record some basketball to have on the dvr.
oh boy.
