Last Day of School & Swim Meet

Yesterday was Caitlin's fifth birthday and the last day of school. Both kids had their end of the year parties. Nana came to help out, so I would not have to cover both parties. Caitlin got the Always Lovey award. Her teacher said she is always giving hugs and wants to sit in their laps. That makes me smile, she is my sweet little girl.
The school provided snow cones for the kids. Both kids loved them. They had crafts and activities in their rooms and snacks. It is always fun to see how they are around their friends. Braden has a few boys that are buddies.




Before snack time, saying the blessing, so sweet!
Caitlin has her first swim meet yesterday. She is swimming out of our neighborhood. I am amazed at how well she is doing. She has always been a good swimmer but now she is doing strokes and breathing as she swims. After the second race, she told me she was ready to go again! She did a total of 3.

Everyone makes comments about how little she is, but she can swim! This is her taking off.


They have to swim the length of the pool. Though at this age they can grap the lane markers if needed. She did not need to the first race, she did the second, I think she was tired, and her goggles were not staying up.

The last race she did was the back stroke. Nana asked her what she was going to do and she said she did not know. But she was able to do it! And she did not have to stop! We were so proud of her!
She has meets every Thursday and practice every day. It is a lot of time but so worth it. We were suppose to have her birthday party today but she woke up with Pink Eye in both eyes. Then an hour after Braden started getting it. Oh so much fun!! So, the party is now set for Monday!
