This is my granddaughter first day at school. A private school villa Maria.
Son is well off and a nz business manager. Proud grandfather here.

She is very tall 5' 11" like her mum
Our son is 5'6"
She is outstanding in netball. And playing touch this year.

I had to look-up netball. It appears to be a women's sport, played mostly in schools. I thought to myself, that kind of looks like Amerian basketball, and it does come from that...

A common misunderstanding of the sport's origins has resulted in the mistaken belief that netball was created to prevent women from playing basketball. However, the sport is the result of Clara Baer's misinterpretation of its rules. Baer had asked James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, to send her a copy of the rules, and Baer's errors resulted in what marked the beginning of the development of a separate sport.

I learned something new today. Cool.

Yeah its big with girls here. I love watching her play, her height makes her good at goal defense or goal attack, 2 positions she loves. And shes aggressive, same as her mum. Lol

Well since we´re on granddaughters - first day - here´s mine. First day I´d actually plucked up the courage to hold her because she´s so tiny. And strictly speaking, her first day: she was born two months premature (because my DIL developed preclampsia) and should have been born on this day. My mathematical skills kicked in: -2 + 2 = 0. :laugh: :laugh:
