We Have A Swimmer






Owen HATES swimming lessons, loves the beach, very reluctant to get into Grandma and Grandpa's pool.... until last week. He went from having to be carried around in the pool to jumping off of the diving board and swimming to the other end of the pool. He can't get enough of it. He practically lived in the pool the entire week we were there.

It is very exciting to watch your little guy do so well at new challenges. His first triumph this year was soccer. You can't even imagine how much he loved it! Everyday we would have to let him know how many sleeps there would be until the new soccer game. He never wanted to be taken out of the game..... he ran his little heart out!

You have never seen someone so proud until you see Owen with his medal from his last game of the season. That medal hasn't come off his neck. Daddy had to pull out his trophy box to share his medals and trophy's with the boys as well. They each now have two of daddy's trophy's in their rooms as well.

The medal was the ticket to swim class. Once Owen found out there would be a medal at the end of swim lessons, he stepped it up a notch and stopped his crying and did the swim lessons on his own with the coach. So proud! Last night he was swimming with just a noodle!

Hockey is just around the corner.... he is already signed up and daddy is registered to be his coach!

Now, I just need that little girl to take shopping!
