Future WNBA Star - Celia Rose

Future WNBA Star - Celia Rose, originally uploaded by Fotodog_1.

Celia got her first basketball this past weekend.

It was her Grandpa Mert's idea since she's almost 5 feet tall at 10 years old.

So, for $8 we bought her a leather ball and I took her out to the driveway and gave her some basics. She was reluctant at first and after a few baskets she fell in love with it.

Her first free throw attempt (EVER) was a swish. That was fun to watch.

Grandpa even said that he was really impressed how good she was even though she'd never picked up a basketball before.

The cool thing is, is that her cousin Lauren is also very tall and has a good high school career. So she's got a very good role model to follow.

Good times!
Cheers~
