Wanna Be Like Mike

My son makes me feel like he thinks I'm an NBA All-Star. I suppose it's easy to be a supa-star if your Fisher Price basketball goal doesn't even quite come to your chest! We were "shooting hoops" today and everytime I would make one he would yell, "Wow-o-Wow, Mommy!"

Made me feel good.

I wonder if there are any openings for 5'4 white chicks in the WNBA . . .

Regardless, it feels good to be able to play and run around with my baby. I feel like I've been either pregnant or recovering from giving birth the past two plus years! It's nice to run around and be silly and, ahem, practice my moves on the court with the little guy. Plus, I'm sure it burns a calorie or two as well. Actually, I have a feeling throwing him over my shoulder and tickling him while he yells, "'top it, Mommy! 'Top it!" burns more calories than actually shooting hoops on the midget goal. But still. A calorie burned is a calorie burned!
