Tenacity...

...our kid got a double dose of it.  Both from his dad, of course.  OK, so maybe he got a triple dose of it. Yes, he is nothing if not tenacious.

So of course, he would never take his eye off the ball.  Goal post-1, Ben-0. Because he hadn't gotten to the ball yet.  


What's a soccer goal doing on a baseball field anyway?

Speaking of those eyes you just posted about a day or so ago. What a great follow up post. What timing. Thanks Ben. :)

Who knew his eye would be multi-colored today.

I see his teeth thankfully are still intact. Glad the goal post didn't win that one.

So is he proud of his black eye?
Aren't they like a badge of honor in BoyWorld?

Seriously, I'm glad he's ok.

Yes, his teeth are intact, and I am quite thankful for that! This actually happened just a couple of hours after the "eyes" pictures. I only now got around to taking a picture--finally getting the stomach for it now that it is healing up. He was pretty swollen. Could have been much worse!

I think he's had some fun with it, but it may be wearing off.

Oh no! I'm glad he's ok. Give that boy some Tylenol. My nose is still crooked thanks to my soccer days. Course I ran into another girl's head rather than the goal post - we both went up to head a ball and instead headed eachother. Prayers for Ben!

That bruise goes all the way down his cheek.

Ow.

That one definitely left a mark. Hope he feels better soon. And tell him its useless to chase goal posts. They don't run and they fight back.

That's a nice one! Looks like it's healing well. It's that lovely shade of yellow now!
Glad he's okay. He looks pretty proud. Probably won't be the last one, either!

Oh poor Ben. But I'll bet he's proud of his first shiner!

Wow, that's a shiner to be proud of, I'd say! Make sure to save this Superior Snap for him. You know he'll want to brag, right? Hope it didn't hurt too much...PS: Don't forget mañana's Sx3!
