Summer Swim Team

Skylee has been swimming on our neighborhood swim team since April. It's been tough, because there are a lot of kids that have been doing this since they were 4! She's improved her strokes and had to swim 100 IM for the first time at the last meet (she was so nervous!). She finished the race successfully. Her team has also won four out of five meets. We still have to explain to B every weekend that he's just not old enough to swim on the team yet.

Skylee's 4th grade talent show

This year Skylee begged to do something "cool" instead of playing her boring violin. However, every year each act is the same. Some kid gets up and sings (very badly) some pop song. So I told her it was refreshing to showcase something unique and different. (Basically I told her she had to play the violin and I really didn't care that she didn't want to!) I did however cave and let her perform as a "back up dancer/singer" for her friend so she could feel cool.
