Swim meet

Lacey had her first swim meet this past weekend and did awesome! She was swimming against 7 and 8 year olds. She didn't pitch a fit or freak out, she was actually really pumped. She was so cute up there, in her goggles and swim cap, the shortest by far. All of the girls on our team were cheering for her and running beside her on the side of the pool. She swam freestyle flawlessly, breathed to the side, and really kept up with the others until about the halfway point. You could tell she got tired but she pushed herself and finished with a good first swim time. All of the team let out a big cheer at the end. Davis was saying 'go! go! go!' Our family was there and we were all so proud of her. No one was more proud than she was though! She got out with her little chest all puffed out and all of the girls congratulated her. When she got to me I congratulated her and told her how happy I was and she said, "Mommy, almost ALL of the girls wanted to give me a high five!" Her teammates support meant so much to her. It was really sweet. I got it all on video of course and she's watched it a few times.

Unfortunately later that day (Saturday) her left eye became really puffy and red. She had had green stuff in the corner that morning and I thought nothing of it. But of course, she has pink eye. She wasn't able to swim her second race (backstroke) on Sunday because of it. Luckily we got some drops called in and she's feeling better today, so hopefully she'll be back at it tomorrow.

And, she turns 5 on Wednesday! My how time has flown. I am taking a half day off work to take cupcakes to school and then take her to get her nails done to surprise her. I'm so excited about it, she's going to be so happy! Then this weekend the kids (cousins) are all going to Pump it Up to play for a bit, and then the family is coming to our house for her birthday celebration. More on that to come.

Davis hasn't been up to much except being a silly boy. He is such a clown. He had a stomach virus the last two days of last week. Of course, he only threw up on mommy and was perfectly fine for daddy! It figures. We are loving the warmer weather and getting to play outside. It's so nice now that he's old enough to go in the backyard with Lacey and play. They also love to play in his room with the train table. Luckily it's big enough that they can play and not bother each other for the most part. They like to push each others buttons, but they really love each other and we catch them being so sweet when we aren't watching!
