Girls can catch

We were walking in the park with our daughter yesterday afternoon when we came across a group of boys from her school year playing softball cricket. When they saw her they immediately asked her to join the game to make up numbers . . btw, that by itself makes me extremely envious given the many hours I used to spend loitering on the edge of boys' matches hoping to be given a game 🥺

Daughter sighs, slips off her sandals, hands me her cardigan, and steps onto the field of play looking very striking in her yellow sun dress 🙂 Ten minutes later she takes a spectacular catch from a high ball going over her head. Nonchalantly throws the ball back to the middle as though it were nothing special, does a round of high fives with her adoring team mates, then rejoins us and we continue our walk.

What a legend! And later this week she will be back in school showing everyone that girls can not only catch, but they can run, jump, throw, swim, tumble as well 🤗
