Just for the hell of it, you can slot her time into the results of the state meet.

yarly.
This is going to be a big jump. When swimmers turn 13, they stop swimming 50s in everything except freestyle, and the 100IM also goes. So not only do half her events require faster times -they other half disappear off her agenda altogether. Including the 50breast which is her best event. and the 100IM -her second best. ah well. onwards. she did it.

Swim Championships this weekend. All three kids placed to score points for the team in all three of their individual events -Hector after a mad dash across Michigan from a hockey game to squeak in minutes before his first event......
They racked up: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 7th, 13th, 16th, 16th ....and the second place went to.......... Thor! In the 25y butterfly. You rock, son, I is proud.

Lil' Pete just won our division's Junior Olympic qualifier for foil then competed in the JO Qual for saber. She had never fenced saber before. She lost all but one of her pool bouts learning the weapon as she went. She then won every direct elimination bout and the tournament under the watchful eye of a college coach who made it generally known, as he could not talk to her, that she could have a spot on his team. She was sooooo happy on the phone. She should be talking to her old coach even as I type this. He will be pumped.

And psyched her opponents into a false sense of complacency. Clever girl, that one.

Lil' Griff's drumming on Carol of the Bells at the Christmas concert was most excellent! A junior boy playing drums on In the Pocket truly stole the show though, my God such talent!

My 4-year-old tilts his head back and puts eyedrops in his own eyes. This kid is braver and stronger than any kid I know.
