The Lindenbergs

T-Ball started last Tuesday. It's Tuesday/Thursday at 7:30pm. Both Pierce and Anna seem to be enjoying it, and we really enjoy watching them play. Pierce has played T-Ball for the past 2 years, but this is Anna's first time. She seems to have a great time with the other kids, usually follows the directions given by the coaches and she is very excited about getting a trophy or medal at the end! She and Pierce are on the same team - the Royals - and they have royal blue team t-shirts.

Tonight (6/14/07) was a night of injuries! We got there a little early so we could practice grounders, catching and throwing with Pierce and Anna. I tossed the first ball to Anna and she missed, but Pierce scooped it up and threw it...and Anna turned around just in time to get beaned in the nose with the ball! Injury # 1 - a Nose Bleed! I ran to get tissues, but neglected to tell Anna to tilt her head back, so blood dripped all down the front of her clothes. So Pierce and Eric practiced while Anna and I tried to stop her nose bleed. Finally, it stopped and when my parents arrived she proudly told them her shirt was so messy because her nose bled!

Then, just after practice started, the kids were instructed to run after Coach Brian. Somehow, Pierce fell and got kicked just above the eye by one of the other kids! Injury #2 - a Black Eye! He is OK and the bruising is not bad, really. He finished the practice and looked like he was having a ball the whole time.

I hope this is not going to be a regular thing, but I better bring the first aid kit from now on, just in case!!!
