Today Charlie (and his dad) got a new toy: a basketball goal. It may be a bit out of season, but Charlie was encouraged by the prospect of Kentucky’s new coach and upcoming season and wanted to get a head start. Brandon has already taught him the game that Cherilyn was good at as a child. Brandon will shoot (and likely miss) the ball, and then encourage Charlie to throw it back, which he does with glee. It’s a win-win (win) situation. He also likes to dunk it himself, though.



I’m glad that the Crowe family tradition of tricking a child into playing fetch is living on.
