Sports

Reggie has come alive!  They try a lot of new activities in Scouts and one week they played basketball and since then, all he wants to do is shoot hoop and play PIG.  It has been lots of fun and he says he wants to play next year, so we will see.  The following week at Scouts, they tried tennis.  Our den leader was waving Ryan to come over and watch Reggie.  He was serving like a pro and she recommended we get him in some lessons.  Yeah, that isn't going to happen.  There's just not enough time....he has been swimming twice a week and loving it.  The practice is set up like swim team, so he does laps and is moving much of the 45 minutes.  He has improved SO much.  Here's a video:
It has been a very busy few weeks for Ainsley.  She continues to do gymnastics 2 days a week and is still doing very well.  I need to take some pictures, but they don't turn out well at the gym.  She has been wanting to learn the level 4 routines, so I got on-line and we started working on the beam routine.  After the last practice, I saw her approach her coach and they were talking for a minute and then she showed her what she knew of the routine.  This was a HUGE deal for Ainsley.  She does not approach adults and hardly ever even talks to them, so my mind was spinning, wondering what she was doing!!??  Good for her :o).  I'm glad she was so excited about learning part of the routine. 
She also has swimming 2 days a week and has improved by leaps and bounds.  I don't even know who that child is in the water!  Here's a video of her:
