Aidan finished his 6th grade basketball season the end of February. They weren't very successful in the win category, but there were very successful in the having fun category and learning to play as a team. Aidan loves basketball! Well, that might be an understatement. He begged his dad to take him to the church gym every morning before school. He doesn't let his size hold him back. He works very hard on his ball handling cause he knows he will be a point guard. It is so weird seeing him shoot left handed. He is a very ambidextrous kid. He has been since he was little. He chose to write with his right hand cause Aaron told him he colored with the wrong hand. He used to cut paper with both hands. Aidan would use his right hand on the right half of the paper and then switch to the left hand for the left side of the paper. His preschool teacher, Mrs. Jennifer, finally said he needed to choose: red or green scissors. His favorite color was red, so he chose red and they were right handed scissors. But when it comes to sports, he is dominantly left handed. But he can bat with either hand in baseball; he plays golf right handed (because the pro said he was fine either way and since his siblings are right handed to buy right handed clubs); he plays tennis with two forehands - he doesn't have a backhand.
Aidan is a very busy kid. He loves to be active and doing. He loves to have fun! He takes his sports seriously. He hates it when others goof off at practice. He will take anyone on - any size, any age. He loved getting to play one-on-one with one of the college players. He works hard. It will be fun to see what sports he chooses to play in middle school and high school and to see him improve each year!
