he swims.

even though i haven't had a chance to get through
all of the pictures i took sunday,
i couldn't let another day go by without sharing these.
and how so, so proud we were of him on the morning of his first meet.

it's been a month of
gaining endurance (and confidence),
learning strokes,
making friends,
adapting to our new schedule,
and really, really hard work.

i was nervous.
he was calm.
but after getting the first event under his belt,
he had a huge smile on his face.
and so did we.
seeing how happy he was to have
accomplished so much in so little time
made it one of my favorite days ever.

stay tuned for part two of this post. xo, t
