Tonight was E's last swim team practice. The close of a six-week stint that has been fun, if not a bit tiring. I am not sure if he loved it. Although, clearly, these unposed turtle kick boards did.
Well, I know that he liked the practices and not the meets. He enjoyed the coaches and the almost 45 minutes of practice swimming he got each night. His freestyle and backstrokes improved, and he even started doing a little butterfly. During the two meets we attended, he had a tendency to swim in slow motion, eschewing any real competitive nature, yet still encouraging me and other parents the cheer him on.
I guess he saves the rivalry for our nail-biting games of Sorry! where I hear, "Oh YEAH baby!" when he's drawn the perfect card to send my guy packing back to "Start" and he knocks the token off the board with a solid shove.
