I had a very intense, stressful, yet successful day today. It was a great relief when Lily called me early in the day, beaming, to tell me that Clarissa, Ammon and Lydia were incredible at the swim tryouts. She was especially amazed at Ammon and Clarissa and Ammon performed the backstroke and breast stroke to the best of their abilities when they have never learned those strokes. And all three of them had to swim incredible distances. Lily was worried Ammon and Clarissa wouldn’t be able to swim the required distance for each stroke, but they did it and Lily was beyond thrilled. It was so fun to hear Lily gush about it on the phone.
Also, Lily took Lydia to back-to-school night tonight. I can’t believe Lydia is a 7th grader!
