Abby was sooo excited to play Jr. Jazz basketball! This girl is obsessed with the jazz, she knows all the players and their numbers and never misses a game! She has been to a few in person and hopes to one day meet the players and get their autographs. Aaron and I grew up jazz fans so we love it! Back to jr, jazz....I think the fact that she got a team photo, jersey, jazz discount card, and a clinic with a jazz player is what made her so excited!! At her first game they were handing out jerseys and I watched her coach hand her a #20 and as she put that on all her dreams had come true! Gordon Hayward's number!!! That is all she wanted!!! Then I watched her coach talk to her and she slowly took off the #20 jersey and they gave her #40. I called her over and she was in better spirits than I thought...they had given her the wrong size! Abby would have rather looked like she was wearing a dress as long as she had Gordy's number but she handled it well! Besides the #40 jersey looked just as big! But she knew it was Jeremy Evans number and she liked him....And she was just fine when I reminded her that he was Gordy's BFF and he won the slam dunk competition! Abby and another girl are the only girls on their team and we have yet to play a team with a girl on it...., and Abby is such a shorty! But I figure it's great experience for her to get ready for next year when it will be all girls city league ball. The boys do pass to her and her first game she grabbed a loose ball and dribbled down and scored it! We are all having fun!!
