Tonight Porter was telling me that his class played Jeopardy at school. They were put into teams of 4 or 5 students. I knew this was coming up and Porter was excited about his team because he felt like amongst all of them they had all the categories covered.
Categories:
Harry Potter
Music
Sports
Star Wars
??? Can't remember the other categories.
As Porter was telling me about the questions he answered, I could not help but laugh. He ALWAYS knows some of the most random things because his brain absorbs everything.
Question: Who is the male tennis star with the nickname King of Clay?
Now, Porter DOES NOT watch tennis nor does he pay attention to tennis. Well, somehow he managed to guess the correct answer. Rafael Nadal. You might wonder, as I did, how the heck he knew this. After inquiring, he told me that he used to search up stats on a baseball play, Rafael Devers, but Rafael Nadal's name always came up first. So he had remembered over a year ago seeing this tennis name!
Question: Who was the number #13 player on the women's soccer team?
Once again, why would he know this? Because girl's in his class are big soccer fans and he has heard them talk about it. Answer: Alex Morgan
There was a Harry Potter question and he knew that in the movie it was one answer, but if it was from the book it was a different answer.
Porter also figured out that Ms Savarie had searched up the wrong answer for a question that she asked. She had searched which NBA team had made it to the play off's the most and used that answer. But her actual question she asked the class was which NBA team had won the most championships. Porter picked the Celtics because they are tied for the most championship wins. Ms Savarie had selected the Lakers which is who they are tied with and the Lakers have been to the most play-off games.
I would have loved to have been in his class during the game. He always shocks me and makes me laugh.
Jonas had his last basketball game of the season and his team WON!! This is only their second win of the season and they tied 1. They won all of their beginning games and the last 3 they did great. It was so fun to cheer him on and feel a little anxious about them holding their lead, but they did it! I was thrilled for him. He has really worked hard this season and has gone out there and hustled, been aggressive and patient. The beginning of the season was really hard for him since they kept losing, but he kept showing up (with a little encouragement/forcing) from David and I. Jonas is great at dribbling, stealing, rebounding, passing, layups and being a team player. He doesn't make it all about himself. He's willing to find the open man and give up the ball, but he will also drive to the basket and have fast break aways. There was one boy on his team that scored for his first time, in 3 years, during a game! And that same kid even stole the ball once. He woke up a little during this game and I hope it built up his confidence to realize he could get out there and do it!
Tonight after we all got home, the boys and I sat around chatting. It was the best! These are the moments I live for. It makes the hard of motherhood worth it. I felt a little bing in my heart, a reminder of the promised blessings of doing Come Follow Me in our homes with our family. We have been much more consistent lately and I really do think it's bringing a piece of heaven into our home. I hope we will stay engaged and committed.
