Berit just started basketball at the YMCA. The 3rd grade girls teams have the net at 8 1/2 feet, so that's what I put our portable basketball net at in the alley. We shot a bit the other day. She wanted to work on covering. It was a blast.

Rowan's getting into it vicariously too. Last night when Berit was relating how she and Kiki played Pig and Horse (and "Kiki" and "Berit" and "Douglass"), Rowan said, "If you teach me, I'll play with you." Of course, if Berit jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, Rowan would follow her.
