Hi everyone, today's post is a bit of a mothers brag...well...how can I not after today's efforts? We had the school try outs today and I have to say that all the children done fantastic including my little fish who finished first on freestyle...funny thing is its hard to tell who's swimming in what lane when things happen so fast, mind you I knew which lane Jake was in but a few of the mothers in our group were a little confused when he shot off away from the pack as I heard them saying, 'Gee...who's that?' I know I must sound like one of those terrible mothers who thinks their kid has to be the best (which I'm not by far) but I have to say I was very proud! :)
After freestyle Jake competed in backstroke & breaststroke bringing in 2nd place to both, well done sweetheart! I have to say, I would have been just as proud had he not won a single ribbon as long as he gave it hes best, that's all that matters I think. Jake also gave the butterfly a go finishing 5th which was wonderful considering he just started learning this over January. Gee, I wish I could do a 50mtr swim in butterfly lol!!!
Look at his proud little face...
Congratulations to my Fish!
Now all we have to do is wait and see who gets into the squad, hopefully it will only be a few days as Jake cant wait too long and nor can I lol.
CONGRATULATIONS JAKE!
