Opening ceremonies introducing the team

Daniel had his first basketball game yesterday and his team opening ceremonies. He was very excited for his first game. He still needs alot of practice and can't quite reach the hoop to make a basket but he was really trying and having fun which is what counts the most. We were surprised to the fact that they actually play a full timed game (4 quarters 8 minutes each with a 5 minute halftime) You can tell Daniel was getting really tired by the 4th quarter but he made it for the full game. This is the first sport Daniel has actually shown some interest in and we will be rooting him all for all his games. On his opening game he had his own cheering section. Justin, me, and Hailey were there along with Auntie Amanda and our good friend Jessica and her kids Michael and Miranda. Hailey was more interested in the cheerleaders and what they were doing then what was happening on the basketball court. I can see it now Hailey wanting to do cheerleading once she turns 5. We will be practicing with Daniel every night a bit and he has his next team practice on Wednesday and his next game on Thursday. His team name is the Lions and Daniel is number is 2.
