First Swim Meet for The Middles!!!!
For the summer I get to be a "Swim Team Mom!" I have to say, for a super fan that gets to yell really loud at sporting events where her children are participating, this is the place for me!!!! Ruby and Sienna made me one proud spectator today!!!! Their first meet, and they did so great!!! Sienna won her heat in the back stroke, and Ruby won her heat in the butterfly! They did their very best in the breast stroke, and before they could finish off their day with freestyle the meet was called for weather!
I learned from some of the other Mom's that the young kids often get "Dis-Qualified" for touching the rope, or not doing the stroke right... That did happen today to the girls..!! They took it in stride, and we decided we would go to "DQ" to celebrate completing their first swim meet!
My favorite moment of the day... When Ruby finished her first and third race, her biggest fan was the one waiting at the edge of the pool for her... She wiggled her way in there to be the first one to say "Way to Go Ruby!!!" Yep, it made me tear up!!!
Best Quote of the day was from Sienna when Ruby was grumbling about doing the breast-stroke... "Ruby, you have to swim it to win it!!" Wise words from the big sister!!
I think I am going to like these crazy Wednesdays!!! Congrats Sienna and Ruby!!! We are so proud of you for helping your team!!
