Individual Freestyle and Backstroke Relay

 On Thursday, the boys had their first swim meet of the 2012 summer season.  They swam the individual Freestyle and then a Backstroke Relay.  Although it was a record 112 degrees outside, Jeremy and I enjoyed watching the boys swim.

This was Ledger's first swim meet.  He swam on the team last summer but never did any of the meets.  As you may remember from my previous post, Ledger threw a HUGE fit at the time trial on Monday. He screamed and cried and absolutely refused to swim across the pool (although we know he can do it.) That night at dinner, Brody and Case were telling Jeremy how Ledger threw a fit during the time trial.  In the middle of our dinner, Jeremy looks at Ledger and says, "Go get your suit on." Puzzled we all sat there wondering what was going on.  Jeremy repeated the sentence again and the next thing I know, we are all on our way to Red Mountain pool so Ledger can prove to all of us that he is capable of swimming across the pool. Sure enough, Ledger jumped in, swam across the pool and back home we went. Lucky for Ledger, coach Brian knew he was capable of getting across that pool too and still let him do the meet.

Ledger swam the backstroke relay first and his team got 3rd place.  SUPER!
He was pretty happy about that white ribbon.

Nanny and Papa were there to see the boys compete.

After the backstroke relay, Ledger swam the individual freestyle, the race he refused to swim during the time trial on Monday.  That boy jumped in, swam across, and did so good.  Jeremy and I were so happy!  Then....he gets out of the water, get his 4th place ribbon, and pouts for the next 30 minutes that he only got 4th.  HONESTLY?!?! I couldn't even believe what was happening.  3 days earlier, the boy couldn't make it across and now he just finished his first race ever.  I was not happy with him for acting like that.  He's already lost 3DS, Computer and IPAD privileges for a looooong time, I don't even know what else to take away...OH WAIT...HIS FREEDOM!!

Well, these two competitive kiddos are back at it again. All Kim and I can do is laugh because these two could care less how they do against the other kids they swim against.  All they care about is how they do against one another.  Katlyn had the faster time tonight by 9 one hundredths of a second.  She ended up with a first place medal while Case ended up with a second place medal.  You should have heard these two after the meet.  Case was happy for Katlyn but upset that he got second and she got first.  It's gonna be a long summer for these two.
