As you will remember, LO has had the Creeping Crud this week. It started last weekend; she came home from camping with DH and went to bed, stopping only for a 45 minute shower. Really. 45 minutes. She had to make up for no showers all weekend, I guess.
She has played Monday and Tuesday, winning both neatly despite the Crud.
Yesterday's match was a nailbiter. DH and I brought our camping chairs, as usual, but they sat empty as we leaned against the railing the whole time, alternately clapping for her points or looking down in silence on the opponent's points. It was tied much of the time. At one point the other girl led, 6-3. LO rallied and tied it up again, 6-6. The girl won a set: 7-6. LO won a set: 7-7. Finally, it came down to it. LO hit a net ball, then an oob and it was over, 8-7.
LO hates it, hates it, if she loses and anyone says, "nice try." If it were so nice, she would have won. She's pretty assertive about it.
Just in case you talk to her, that's a good thing to know....
