She joined the neighborhood swim team and loves it! She had her first meet this weekend and I got to be home for it! Her very first swim for the meet was a team relay race. She had no idea what that was-neither did I- but after asking other parents, we for the hang of it. When she got to the starting block and we saw her talking to the coach..motioning stuff. Asking questions. She takes off and she's doing the butterfly stroke! She had never before in her life learned the butterfly stroke! But there she was, down the lane, and doing a pretty decent job!! Serious cuteness and we couldn't have been more proud. She got plenty of kudos!
She also had an incident where her goggles came off whole she was warming up with the team but they somehow stayed suctioned to her eyes and she just kept going down the lane, powering through :) Holy cow were we shocked!!! The way that girl is about needing her goggles I'd swear that wasn't my kid pushing through like that! Love, love, love. She also placed first in her heat for freestyle. We are so grateful she has found a sport she loves. We even see a little competitive streak we've not seen in her before. I wasn't so sure she would stick with it but she loves it. And we enjoy watching her!
This week I'm headed to NYC to work the World Science Festival. I'll be on a panel for Women in Science, as well as other things. Mom, Paul, and Anna are coming to meet me for a long weekend of NYC and science fun :)
