Volleyball Might Not Be Her Game

Having spent most of my life truly believing I didn't have an athletic bone in my body, I want to be sure that Abbey feels like she can play sports if that turns out to be one of her interests.

She's a pretty tough little girl; falls and bumps and bruises don't bother her.  She can run and kick at the same time (sometimes).  Soccer might be her thing.

She's still asking about gymnastics classes and playing balance beam on Dylan's crib.  Maybe she'll be flying between uneven bars before we know it.

She's absolutely enchanted by her daddy, and baseball has a special place in his heart (alongside every other sport known to man).  Perhaps she'll be able to perfect that crazy looking underhand softball pitch.

But volleyball?  It might not be in her genes. 

Four generations of women in my family were together this April, so we (of course) captured it on film.
it has to be noted that I am 5'1" (on a good day)
and I am in my bare feet in this picture 
Dylan wanted to play, too

    Perhaps she could just play back row? I have to agree that her odds of being the hot-shot up in the front row slamming down spikes and blocking the opponents are quite low...:)

    I know! She might be able to rock out a soccer field, though!

    I hope so! I'm not very competitive, so I don't know if I will make a good sports Mommy.

    Oh I'm not either, well I am competitive, but I hate those "SPORTS MOMMIES" they annoy me and I know I'll say something like "It's just a game" and get slapped or they'll make fun of my wedge sandals on the soccer field.
    I don't do sneakers. ;)

    What is Real?
    "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." - from the Velveteen Rabbit by M Williams
