So we put Carson on swim team this year because last year he was swimming GREAT. Well he has since REGRESSED! It's really more of a confidence thing, he thinks the pool is too big. Anyway, I've been telling him to stop grabbing the rope when they do their laps. So at his first meet he jumps in does a few strokes and then grabs the rope. As he's looking around you can tell his thinking "oh, crap this is a race"! So he precedes to pull on the rope hand over hand to keep going. It was embarrassing and hilarious at the same time. THAT'S MY BOY! He did eventually start swimming again. The best part....HE WASN'T LAST! LOL He beat two other kids! One kid just cried for his mom in the middle of the pool. I was thinking "Hey, at least that's not my kid crying out there"! GOOD TIMES Hopefully he starts to LET GO of the rope!

After the race he told my friend "I beat those two guys". So, so proud.
