My super brave super star!

Today during Allie's baseball game, she did so well. She started as catcher, and her throwing improved so much just during the game. She would have caught better on her left if her glasses would have fit with the helmet and face mask on. (She has a lazy eye, and can barely see without her glasses in that eye.) She hit the ball and ran in and scored a point, and even caught the ball to get someone out when she was on first base. The game was almost over when she was up to bat, and the ball was a little high. It hit her helmet (thank goodness for the helmet) then hit her right in the lip and nose. She paused for a moment and then realized what had happened and the pain quickly followed. I ran down to comfort her along with her dad. I thought maybe her nose was broken, but it turns out she took the brunt of the hit on her lip. She got a chipped lower tooth, a heck of a brush on her inner lip and outer nose are. I think the amount of blood scared her so much. She was so brave though. It turned out her getting to walk to base (someone filled in for her) made it so the team one the game. My brave little super star! I'm so proud of her. She even stayed to shake the hands of the other team. They were concerned for her too. It was definitely a game to remember.
