What form!!!!

Grace's baseball team had another game tonight; G got to play catcher in the 5th inning.

Now, catcher at this age is interesting. On the one hand, the kids who like it LOVE it, but it's because they get to dress up in a cool, super-hero-like outfit, not necessarily because they have any inherent skill at the position. In fact, they frequently turn their bodies AWAY from the ball as it's pitched, which is understandable, except that means they're also turning all that lovely padding away from the ball, and exposing bare flesh. Or at least unpadded flesh.

Anyway, I'm not so sure that G has any inherent skill at the position (she hasn't quite caught on that she can field the ball AFTER it's hit, not just catch it if the batter misses), BUT her form is outstanding. She never once turned away from the ball, even when it whacked her on the shins!

Makes a mother proud!
