Last night Brody and Case finished their spring swim season with a championship meet at Moon Valley Country Club. Brody chose to swim freestyle, Butterfly and the 100 IM. Case chose Breaststroke, Butterfly and the 50 freestyle. Case ended up with medals in all 3 events while Brody metaled in butterfly and the 100IM. Jeremy and I were so proud of them both and all their hard work this season. Way to go Brody and Case!
Case showing off his medals. Third place in the breaststroke, Sixth place in the butterfly, and eighth place in the 50 freestyle. For a minute there I thought I might have to rescue my little 5 year old from the 50 free. He barely made it but hung in there and didn't give up!!
Brody got a 6th place medal in butterfly and an 8th place medal in the 100IM. Now that he is 7, he swims in the 7-8 age group. I hate it cause he is the younger of the group and the other boys TOWER over him!! No big deal though for this awesome swimmer!
Case had his game face on last night! He was all business!
He had just perfected the dive and then they made him go off those tall starting blocks. They are way high to a little guy!! Check out the dude in the black and green suit in the lane next to him!
Brody has finally decided that going off the starting blocks gives him a head start rather then going straight down from the side of the pool. Again, check out the rad dive from the dude two lanes down from him!
The best part of the night was not those shiny medals my hard working boys won. The best part was when Case happily handed over one of his medals to Katyln who was crying because she didn't get one and said, "Here Katy, you can have mine, I already have 2!" He happily let her wear it all night and even to dinner at Nellos. He didn't even say anything as we were loading up the car to go home until I brought it to his attention. We flagged down Kim and Case asked if he could have his medal back. Katyln handed it over and we said good-bye again. As we walked away, Case said, "Mom I was worried that Katy might cry if I asked for my medal back." He may act like he doesn't have a clue what is going on around him. He may seem goofy and silly, but you know what... he is kind, loving, caring, and sweet. He is in tune with others and their feelings. He gets IT and he will go far because of his sensitive, caring nature. He would give you the shirt off his back and that is why I love this kid. I can only hope that next year his Kindergarten teacher will see his strengths and love him for who he is. This was the best moment of the whole meet! Way to go Case Felstead! Way to go!
