The summer is almost over and we only have one more session of swimming lessons over here! Today was the last day of the current session or "card day" as it's often called in this (and other) household. The boys got their cards but what was way more exciting, (especially for Mason!) was their "medals". I was busy talking to a friend and didn't realize the boys had already gotten out of the pool when Mason came running over to me yelling "I got first place! I got a MEDAL!". What they did at the pool was hand out little gold medals that looked very Olympic like to every child. Most the kids that I noticed seemed to be pleasantly surprised but I swear the whole pool could probably hear Mason in his exuberance!! His teacher had to come chase him down to give him his card because that was long forgotten in all the excitement. Basically the "card" sums up the session and progress and lets you know if your child can move up or needs to stay in the same class. Mason moved up and Matthew didn't so there was a little irritation on Matthew's part but oh well. They were both in quite a good mood for the rest of the evening and were even willing to stand somewhat patiently, in the late afternoon heat, for a few pictures!
So I will let them watch some more Olympic swimming, diving, and whatever else catches their eye....and they will probably wear the medals as they watch. Off to the family picnic tomorrow and hopefully I won't melt from the heat!! ;)
