Basketball Injury

This is Cody's third season to play basketball. Basketball and baseball are definitely his two favorite sports. Every season, he learns something new. He has learned how to shoot, dribble, pass, and that assisting in a shot is just as important as making it.

Today he learned that bouncing a ball between his legs can be VERY painful!

The boys were just warming up. They were taking shots and playing around. Cody wanted to try bouncing the ball between his legs like Ty and his friends can do on their team. The first few times were a success because he sort of just passed the ball though. The final time, the last time he will probably do it for a very long time, was not so successful. He bounced the ball hard on the ground and before he could help guide it though his legs, it shot back up and hit a bulls-eye.

Cody was rolling on the floor in pain within a second.

I didn't know what to do, I have never been in that situation. In fact, I am pretty sure Cody has never been in that situation. He was just holding himself and saying his stomach hurt.

When I asked if he was alright he said, "No! The ball just hit my junk!"

Well, that entertained everyone watching!

Awesome, just another thing he learned from his older brother. I'm glad my four year old refers to that area as his "junk".

He got up within a few minutes and played his game. TJ wouldn't let me take a picture of Cody on the floor. He thought that would be a little heartless! He doesn't realize pictures make these stories that much better!


So, I only have these...



Obviously his "junk" is feeling better.

Can't lie - I was laughing the whole time. Guess he learned how bad 'stomach' pain can be! I miss you guys!
