It's tough being 8, I tell ya. No really it is. Sometimes it's tough to be the parents of an 8 year old too. We all learned some life lessons this weekend at Jacob's second swim meet. Sometimes you have to do things even when you don't want to, or when you are scared, or even when you don't think you can. Or EVEN when you are so scared you vomit 5 minutes before the race. My boy is learning all these things. And we are learning how to guide him through this process. Nobody said this parenting thing was easy and there's a good reason for that. After lots of encouragement, lots of prayers, and a few "upchucks", he did it! He competed even when he thought he didn't have IT in him. And we couldn't be more proud.
And now its time for a nap!
