She can kick a ball, throw a ball, and hit a ball with a wooden spoon. She would love it if Noodle would play ball with as much enthusiasm as she plays ball. Noodle is good for three to four fetches with a lot of coaxing to return the ball for another throw.
Grandpa and Poppy play ball - Poppy escorts Grandpa into the bedroom to play ball when he visits as well as shooting hoops.
Poppy recognizes hoops around the neighborhood, on T.V. (as we watch March Madness - men and women night after night), and at Momma's school. I have Poppy rooting for my team - she knows Duke is the team to beat - well almost. We are Carolina fans - when Duke looses in the tourney.
Poppy needs to keep the tradition alive - Grandpa and Mom played on a State Championship basketball teams and we both played College basketball. Poppy will get to choose for herself; sports or no sports. The interest she shows now is fun to share her joy with the round ball.
Shooting hoops with Grandpa.
Grandpa keeping Poppy safe.
