Curly's swim team , The Waves, had their first swim meet this past Wednesday. We weren't sure if she would swim or not until we arrived at practice on Wednesday morning. We'd missed a week of practice and time trials last week while we were at the beach. I guess she showed the coaches at practice on Tuesday that she was ready to compete. They put her in two events: 6 & under 25 Free and 6 & under 100 Free relay. The meet was crazy chaotic and extremely HOT! So many kids, parents, grandparents and siblings all over the place cheering and sweating. Thankfully Curly had two really sweet "bull pin" moms who were in charge of the 6 and under girls. They kept them huddled together and made sure they got to the starting blocks when it was their turn. I had to work the concession stand for a few hours but luckily I was able to run down for Curly's events and watch and cheer her on. Curly did AWESOME! She didn't hesitate at all to jump in and swim her heart out.

Daddy was so proud of his little racer
At practice the day after the meet, Curly was awarded a 2nd place ribbon for each of her events. She carried them around with her all day. So proud!
