I picked up my pictures today, and they turned out exceptionally well....so I thought I would share a few with you! I took dd to the doc today for her x-ray and, as I knew would happen, she does not have a broken ankle....yippee! She is still wearing the brace, but will be fine. She gets to play again on Saturday, which will cause another fight about it with the dh. I need some advice here....she is on a team with all boys, as you know. They are between 9-12th grade....(she is 9th). Yes, they are faster and stronger than she is, and yes she probably has more of a chance of getting hurt....but she could also get hurt playing with girls. The boys are very aware of her, and they all try their best to keep from running her down. Dh says she will get hurt worse next time, and that we should not let her play anymore. I say she will be guarding girls from now on so that lessens the chance, she is learning to be more agressive playing with boys....which is to her advantage, and I don't think we should make her quit if she wants to play. It's a hard call here as she wants to play, yet dh feels I'm not considering his input on the situation. Truthfully, I want her to continue. Any suggestions?

Let your daughter decide she knows or will know when it is too much. She needs to know she can hold her own under stressful conditions and that both of her parents will support her no matter what. Glad the ankle wasn't broke!
This not up to you or hubby, it's something you got her into and she now wants to play. It's in her court now and it should be her decission. Let her be the judge when it gets to be enough or not. Mom and dad have to let kids be kids sometimes. Besides, if you pull her out, you may destory her confidence to play altogether. Remember, sports are not all about strength but also brains.

I think we could have all lived without the 79 degrees being posted up there missy...I think you know my feelings on sports and girls. I think as long as she is not frightened of playing with them, you should not encourage her to be afraid. My youngest daughter never backs down from anyone, she plays with boys all the time and she is a better player because of it. Just my 2 cents...
Don't let her quit!!!!!The girl that was on our team 2 years ago was very quiet and shy and feminine. She was the most valuable player on the team. I have seen her plow right through some pretty big kids. Let her play. She can get hurt in any sport. Loved your photos! Especially the thermometer one, very funny!! It's still freezing here, but I think I'm actually getting used to it.
I think if she still wants to play, she should be able to. She could get hurt anywhere doing anything, at least on the court she is more aware.
No doubt about it, she HAS to play!!! Tell DFH to think about the life lesson here! He's got a tough daughter, he sould encourage it and be proud!!! It's not like she's going to join a hockey team (Here in FREEZING FLORIDA!) LOL!!!
First of all...I am in love with your kitchen. It's so my style and I have bare walls right now with just two rag dolls hanging...dying for ideas and got some here. Ty. I think it's really up to her whether or not she plays. And I do think she will evolve into a better/stronger player playing with the boys. It will also help her out in relationships in the future because she will know how to entertain her husband in ways I could never ever do. Like kicking his butt in Basketball in the driveway.
i love the scale..oh how cute and is that a little radio? I could sit there at night with a candle and a glass of wine.
Let her play...you've considered his input, he LOSES! Sorry!
If she loves to play and is good, it would be a shame to not have her playing where the sport is competitive for her. Kids get hurt doing all kinds of things (can you say mosh pit?) She should go for it.
