I joke around and say, " Malcolm was born on a basketball court." That is because ever since he was a wee tiny baby he has been attending his siblings games. At one point, we had five of our children playing on at least four different teams.
Our special little boy took to the game immediately, he loved all of the activity: the fast-paced running back and forth, the ball being thrown, baskets being made, the loud whistle blowing and the exciting cheering crowd.
Before Malcolm could even walk his physical therapist motivated him to stand with our support by placing this hoop in front of him. Well, he has come a long way since then and now he is practically running from place to place and trying to dunk some b-balls.
This lil' boy never ceases to amaze me with his determination and love of life! He is so thrilled that he can actually get in on the game!
The older kids are so excited for him, they like to play with him and teach him some skills. It is such a sembiotic relationship! How I love to be able to witness these moments.
