DD is signed up for Instructional Softball. She has been very excited.
My DD - who is not quite 5 1/2 - can be quite the Drama Queen. QUITE!
I was so proud of her at practice the other night. She got hit by the ball while she was doing batting practice. Right on her hands. She immediately broke into tears and a loud wail - the shock and sting, I'm sure. Her coach is very good (I do like how he handles the girls) and said "Ok, why don't you go see Mom, let Mom take a look" while he kept the other girls busy with ground balls to the infield.
As my daughter walks from home plate to the dugout opening near first base, about 1/2 there she stops, turns around and says - with no more tears - "It's ok, I want to bat again.".
No drama. She went right back up there and not afraid of the ball.
In the car, she tells me she lied. I asked what she meant. She said it was still hurting and it hurt for a bunch of minutes after but she wanted to go back and bat so she lied it was better.
This is the same girl at Ice Skating who would she was tired of doing drills, say her ankle hurt or she needed a rest but then wanted to be back out there for "free skate".
She made me one proud Momma
