JV Basketball Game

Tiana had a fun experience last night. Her basket ball team played at half time during the JV Girls Basketball game at the high school. She was very nervous to play in front of a lot of people, but she did great and it was only an 8 minute game. I am sure that it would come to no surprise to you that she is usually the tallest player and so she has great potential to be a great defender!

Each girl had to take their turn sitting out.

She is getting good at not letting the person she is guarding get through. It is crazy that third grade is getting to be a late age to have her start playing - we are so crazy!

Grandma M and Megan were supposed to be here this weekend and were unable to make it due to illness. Tiana was sad that they weren't going to be there. She also just needed a little help to feel comfortable at the game. Then, in came in Ms. Gillmore, a special helper in Tiana's class. Tiana loves her, and I can tell that she loves Tiana too! She came up and wished Tiana well and Tiana said she could hear her cheering for her. After Tiana played she asked if she could take Tia over to the snack bar and buy her a treat, like a sucker! Well, Tiana came back with a sucker, popcorn and a drink! We then watched Ms Gilmore's daughter play and Tia had to sit by Ms. Gilmore! She talked about how much she enjoys Ms Gilmore all night. I really felt like Heavenly Father blessed us to have someone make Tia feel so special on a night that she felt so insecure.
It just makes me feel happy and blessed!
