Lilly finished her second year on the swim team. She was on the Training Squad and did kickboard in the swim meets. Next year she'll be on the "real" swim team swimming with the 6 and unders. Exciting!
Last year at the swim team banquet Lilly received the "Pretty Pretty Princess" award. Um, ok. I wasn't really thrilled since it had nothing to do with anything but ok, the kids who ran the Training Squad were super organized, sweet, and worked hard. I'll cut them a break. This year, Lilly go the "Most Likely to Marry Prince Charming" award. Wha??? Seriously?? This bugged the crap out of me for a good week. The award has nothing to do with her ability to swim or the improvements she made. Other kids received real swimming awards but not Lilly. In fact, she went from needing someone to hold her kickboard to swimming two laps of freestyle all by herself. Isn't that worthy of something even if it's the "Works Hard" or "Breathes to Both Sides" award? Ugh. Anyway, she wasn't really clued in so I let it go after jabbering to Andy about it for an hour.

After the awards were handed out, the dancing began and Lilly danced the night away...
Last year I attended the awards banquet on the Monday after having the twins on Friday. I remember it hurt so much to even walk. This year was much more enjoyable! We're proud of you Lilly!
