Grit

This weekend, T-man learned about grit. His basketball team played a very good team that was really scoring a lot of points. T-man was in tears and wanted to quit after being scored on several times. We talked about not quitting and being there for your team. We were SO proud of the way he stayed with it and finished the game - 8 points in the 2nd half! 

Here's a video of 2 of those points.

T-man was also honored at the half time of the CU Women's Basketball game for being the most improved reader in his class on Sunday. CU partners with Boulder Valley schools for this program. As this is an area of development for T-man, we obviously we're very proud of him and his accomplishments. It's taken a lot of grit to get here.
