Basketball at the park with Dad

I actually bought the basketball from Kmart when Jayden was about.. 8-9months old. Early I know but in my defence, it was on special for something ridiculous. It was too big for him then but it was so cute to watch his little hands and feet try and roll the ball.  

On Thursday night he had a sleepover at Mums, as we went to the Stamford Grand for another precious Anniversary Night, so we were somewhat missing our little munchkin. (Yes it was only 1 NIGHT!! But after hearing about how he miserably howled at his grandmother "I lost my mummy tonight" and talking to him on the phone for 2 minutes, where he proceeded to tell me how much he loved me, it was heartwrenching!!)
So on Friday Josh took the day off, and we decided to pick him up from Emali early to just spend sometime with him. We took him to the park behind our house to play some basketball.

His hand-eye coordination is getting better. Now he can effectively bounce the ball but often neglects to use his left hand.

Here's him sitting on Daddy's ball, which is significantly bigger than his own bright orange basketball.

When he tries to make a shot he just throws the ball into the air and runs away, hoping it doesn't hit him on the head on the way down. Its hilarious to watch. I must say, it is so good seeing Daddy play. He's not too shabby himself.
