More ball games

For the past few nights, Gus has been teaching Theo about basketball. He says, "Theo, this is a basketball. Theo, this is a basketball," over and over again. And, "Put it in the hoop. Put it in the hoop." I could not figure out where the hoop was but it all came together tonight.

Basketball. You need a basketball, a hoop and a baby brother.

"Theo, this is a basketball. Theo, this is a basketball."


This is the hoop. And Theo's pudgy hand. Watch out pudgy hand.


The backboard.


Sometimes it lands in the hoop. Two points.


Other times . . .


it does not. Game over.
