My husband and I have 3 wonderful children who definatley take after their daddy in athletics. Our daughter is 3 yrs. old and our boys are 20 onths old. There is never a time we can leave the house with out a ball in every childs hands. The boys love to play ball. They can not see a ball without having to play with it. Daddy nails an old milk crate to the tree out front at their level and the kids will just play ball all day. When daddy is watching basketball they stop what they are doing and watch with him. At 20 months the boys are more interested in playing ball more than with anything else. And our daughter can't get enough of it either. All she ever wants to do is go to the basketball court. She thinks it is so cool when daddy and his buddies play around with the basketball tryin to do tricks with dribbling and shooting.
