H, you went to basketball camp for the first time this week.

Truth be told: You also played basketball for the first time this week.

I demonstrated and gave you four pointers before you went:

• I showed you how to pass the ball.
• Explained that if you have the ball, you must be dribbling it.
• To score a point, just shoot the ball in the basket.
• And that if the other team has the ball, you don’t let them score.

You loved it.

Mom dropped you off the first day and said you were a little scared, but that an older girl in the third grade, named Kendall took you under her wing.

We went and watched you play the last hour of the last day. You were beautiful. And a little fireball on defense.

And you won an award for best sportsmanship!

The coach told mom you were the sweetest thing – and loved cheering for the other girls.

I love you.
