All Day Long

Lehr taught Eli to say "All day long!" when he makes shots on the basketball hoop. Of course when Eli says it, "All De Yong!" is the translation, confusing anyone other than Lehr or I. Due to the numerous guests we've had in our house the last week or so and the rainy weather, Eli has put in many MANY hours on the court. (His main hoop is on the enclosed portion of the back deck.) I played out there with him for about thirty minutes on Christmas Eve and the kid was (is!) insane! He gets in a rhythm and it is amazing how many shots he can make in a row. "All day long" really is an appropriate commentary for him. As skillful as he is at two years old though, the poor kid doesn't have a chance at the NBA. Short (pun intended) of becoming the next John Stockton, his lack of height will most likely keep him on the bench. Regardless of whatever tall genes he might get from Lehr's side of the family, Lehr is taller than everyone on my side. Males included. (And he is only 5'10".) Looks like Eli will have to settle for being a big fish in a little pond....
