Lollipop meet!

Donovan has been working so hard on his swimming this year. He gas been on the Little Vikings team, which is the developmental part of our neighborhood swim team. He started the year not really knowing how to swim much at all. Each week, at the swim meets, the Little Vikings would have a "race" across the deep end (about 12 meters). He started out with a coach swimming with him, but by the end, he could do it all by himself. On Thursday this week, he participated in the "Lollipop Meet," which is a mini swim meet with 3 other teams. He did fantastic. He swam 25 meters all by himself, no coach even in the pool with him. He swam the 25 meter freestyle and also the noodle relay. I was so proud of him, and he was proud of himself! The Little Vikings were so adorable, and stood along the fence and cheered for their teammates nonstop throughout the entire race, which was nearly 3 hours long!
