It is looking like Lucy has gotten the coordination of her mother: the woman who played bench-warmer/right fielder in high school softball, with a season ending ball to the face during warm ups. (Why did my parents sign me up for softball in the first place??)
I don't think we will encourage Lucy to play softball.
However, hitting a ball with a mallet is a whole different ball game.
Last Sunday, while Matt was napping, Lucy and I played croquet in the front yard!
Her favorite parts of the game may have been taking the mallets apart and reassembling in various color patterns and pulling all the wickets up, but oh well!
We've been out golfing some this summer too, which has promise. It's about the only sport that I can play, so maybe Lucy can master it too. We will see!
