Back in November Kent bought Anderson a nerf basketball hoop. The kind that you hang on the back of a door. Anderson and Justin were so excited. I think initially Justin was more excited about it! Until Anderson figured out what it was. Then he feel in love with it. HE HAD A HOOP IN HIS BEDROOM! He no longer had to go downstairs to shoot hoops. He could now shoot hoops during bedtime prayers and scripture reading. When you sleep with a ball you can get out of bed a shoot a basket first thing in the morning and right before you go to bed. What more could a kid ask for!
Well, it fell apart. That is what happens when you dunk balls in it, make baskets with books and any other toy that could fit in the basket. We used tape and glue but it could not be saved. So one day after putting Anderson in the car. When I was sure that he was not looking that Nerf hoop went in the garbage. When we got home Anderson looked all over for it. He would say Mom and then sign basketball. It was sad, I did not dare tell him that it was in the gross outside garbage can.
Well, no fear that very night Grandpa Scott pulled through. He showed up at our house with the Jazz basketball hoop and a Jazz ball. Anderson loves it so much. He slept with the ball that night and plays with it all the time! If Anderson had his choice we would have one in every room in the house!
