practice makes perfect

lately all mateo has wanted to do is play basketball. he loves throwing on his jersey and hitting the courts with papa. this court in particular is perfect for the two of them. one side is a short basket for mateo and the other is a regular one for papa.

they start off on their separate sides perfecting their shots.



then, they get their scrimmage on.


it's hilarious to watch mateo play against papa cause he's literally screaming and laughing the entire time. no joke! and sometimes out of nowhere he'll stop dead in his tracks to have a conversation. it's the funniest thing. no dribbling, no shooting, no laughing, no smiling, just stopping to talk right in the middle of their game.





papa can't wait for the days when him and his boys can play some real pick up games. until then i'm sure he's enjoying every second with mateo and his new found love of basketball.
