Busy Week

  Busy, busy, busy! My daughter has started preschool this week, and my son started swim team. I was SO excited to get Devin to try out a new sport. Heck, I was just excited he wanted to do something besides bury his face in a video game! We have a local YMCA, and they said he could come in and try it out. We went in, and Devin ran off into the locker room, just beaming with excitement.

    I really love this age. I am just starting to see the man he will become, but he still gets the sparkle of a child in his eyes. I spend the next two hours watching that kid pour his heart out, physically. He had not previously been in a sport, so you could tell his body was used to laying around. BUT MAN! He just kept on going.     When it was finished, the coach came out to tell me how well Devin did. The coach brought out the sign-up sheet, with scheduled practice times and the fee amounts. Devin stands before me, face flushed from joy and exertion, then I look down and read the paper. OMG. I keep re-reading the blue sheet of doom. Six days a week?!! How much money?!! This isn't the Olympics, right? When will I go to the grocery? When will I make appointments? How much MONEY?!! Then, I look back down at my son's face.

We are officially a swim team family.
