Is It In the DNA?

I'm not gonna lie and say neither Scott nor I would really care if our kids didn't like basketball.  But we have mentally disciplined ourselves to always communicate that whatever hobbies they enjoy will always be encouraged and supported.

So what if I happen to enroll Taryn in gymnastics rather than ballet?  She is only 2 afterall, and if she really wanted to wear pink tutus and dance around like a fairy, she would've protested...well...more than the weekly "pry her screaming body from my leg" protesting that she does at the beginning of each class.

And I did put Brody in soccer for a whole 3 months before switching him to basketball.  It's not my fault that he's not a fan of running-simply-for-the-sake-of-running...well...ok, technically it is since we know the Bangert side could run a marathon without ever training!  But I mean...look at that shot!!  Be still my shooting-guard-momma's heart!




Ok...I said "shooting guard" not "point guard"!!
