Tethered

Lucy got a tetherball for Christmas and it has changed her life.  Literally.  She is obsessed.  It doesn't matter how cold it is, if it's raining, snowing or windy.  She wants to be out there.  It started modestly enough.  We put it outside about a week after Christmas and she took a few miserable swats at it.  Lots of whiffs.  Not much game.
But now, watch out.  She can hit it forehand, backhand, with power and with finesse.  She is a tetherball pro.  She, of course, commentates the entire game and only hits her brother in the head with the ball a few times a week. 
It will be interesting to see her tennis game this spring.  For now, we are tethered to the tetherball.
