Eden w/cup in hand

Posted by tom | Mar 20, 2006

I (Tom) just had to share this beautiful, developmental moment . . . tonight, I ran back-and-forth from the twins taking a bath and keeping an eye on Eden. I couldn't believe Eden's ability to sit-up and take a drink herself. This is something that has only recently emerged. Praise be to God!

I find this move even more spectacular (and replicable) than the fade-away 3-pointer that enabled Northwestern State to surpass Iowa in the closing second of the game. That's not to say that the tourney has not inspired me, as my game was really on this morning, until the last match-up. But I'm finding a lot more joy in being with Eden as she, by the grace of God, makes her moves than all the ball on T.V. (and I've shared a lot of time w/Hayley and Ellen in front of the tube trying to explain the nuances of the action on court . . . they were disappointed to have Pittsburgh associated with loosing).
