Nathan's First Swim Meet

Yesterday afternoon {which turned into yesterday evening}, Nathan had his very first swim meet! He was so excited! In the car, on the way to the meet, he kept chanting over and over, "I'm gunna' win! I'm gunna' win!" I do love some confidence. :)

Scott was able to finish scrubbing his last case at 4:30 and be at the pool by 5:00. We had to wait over an hour {!!} for Nathan to swim his first stroke: butterfly!

I think probably everyone was looking at me like I was a crazy lady, because I was most definitely that loud mom who is cheering and jumping up and down for her baby. He came in 3rd place for butterfly, and then he came in 3rd place again for freestyle. GO NATHAN! 

My favorite part? He would stop--literally in the middle of racing--to look up at Scott, Jack, and I and give us the BIGGEST Nathan smile. Melt my heart, boy!

Nathan really, really loved it! He had the best attitude the whole time. I'm constantly impressed with this son of mine. He is truly a gift and a blessing from the Lord.

Go Sharks! I can't wait to keep cheering my baby on all summer long!
