This Year

Here we go again. Colton is trying out for the Jr. High basketball team. He tried out last year, and didn't make it. But last year was different. He didn't seem to want it. He didn't seem to care much. Like he was trying out because his friends were. And I'm sure it showed on the court. In fact he was so un into it, that when he came home Friday at the end of tryout week, I had to remind him to open his letter to see if he made it or not. Just didn't care. The Monday after tryouts, the coach pulled him aside and told him to work on a couple things over the next year and he'd make the team next year. He told him that they needed him. They needed his height. Needed him to be more aggressive.

This year is different. This year he cares. This year he's more mature. This year he wants it. This year he IS more aggressive. This year is for real. This year, is much more stressful for me. Keep your fingers crossed! We'll know if 5 days.
