This week we're celebrating the end of the basketball season for our eldest son. Being able to represent his school in basketball was something he'd looked forward to for years. However it hasn't been all roses and chocolate. The middle school boys practise at 6.40am three mornings a week. First it sounds awfully early, then it sounds doable. But in the end, it IS awfully early and he's gotten very tired.
He hasn't had a best season, either. Social skills don't come easy to our son and there are many social skills required to train and play a team sport. Not to mention just travelling with the team to and from matches on public or private transport!
Let's just say, we were counting down the days till he can eat breakfast with us again every morning. Tomorrow they have their last game of the season and while he loves the game, I think he'll be secretly relieved.
