Tuesday Night is Guest Blogger Night : March Madness!

Sylvie had a great day today. She started her first day of her second semester of school. Last week was her Spring Break so all the kids returned to class today refreshed and ready to learn.
It was pretty mild out today (we're getting more and more of these types of days) so Sylvie, Kacey, Nicole and her friend Brianna (who turned 10 yrs old today!) were outside playing when I arrived at Kacey's work to pick up the little one. Here she is in the sandbox and climbing like the monkey she is on the jungle gym.


Being that we are in the midst of March Madness, we took out some basketballs and shot around a little bit. Double click on the photo below to enlarge (as you can always do on every photo). You will more clearly see Sylvie making a break towards the hoop for a layup (though it was a blatant traveling foul).

A couple cute ones of Syl walking up to the hoop and taking a shot. I was impressed with her instant enthusiasm for basketball (she calls it 'baseball'... as she does with all sports (that's my girl!)) even though we have never had her play before. I love her face in the second shot. Actually, I love her expression in the first pic, too!


This was pretty much as close as Sylvie's shots got to scoring 2 points....still, not bad for a 26 month old! At this rate, in 16 years, she'll be getting a free ride to any school of her choice. My baby's got mad skills.

What a way to end a hard day at work. Watching kids play is a wonderful thing. Relaxing and invigorating. Little Syl is having a great time and so is Dad.
Love the pics.
A big hug. Grampy and Steppy
