Ryland's basketball game - November 22, 2008

So today was Ryland's last basketball game. I videoed it again, but with a different camera so I don't have the actually footage right now. But Ryland proved to be HIS normal self again. Today he was a gorilla pounding his chest has he ran up and down the court. Then he decided to be a snake. He was on the ground trying to slither around just like a snake. He got tired of being on the court and asked John to put him on the bench. Well he got bored on the bench and quietly slithered onto the court while the game was going on. Man! was I laughing so hard!!! Then John was putting him back into the game and he wouldn't stand up, so John carried him onto the court. By this time Ryland was sitting more yoga style. He was holding one leg above his head and sitting. John finally got him to stand. The lady next to me commented that usually players are carried OFF the court (if they are hurt) not ON to the court. HEE HEE!! At the very beginning of the season I was very frustrated with Ryland because he would not do what was asked of him, but then I saw how funny everything was and now I just laugh. John is even laughing now. But he was so frustrated because he was the coach and it was his own child that was the hardest to try to coach. Right now he has vowed not to coach Ryland again. But he'll have a bit of a rest period and maybe he'll change his mind.
