One Step at a Time

1.  Troy is consistently in the Top Five swimmers in his age group in our region (which ranges from Edm to Jasper).  He’s evolved this summer — not just as a swimmer, but as a boy — full of sportsmanship and team spirit and pride and passion.  And, he could kick my butt any ol’ day doing butterfly.

 2.  Derek had a very, very successful and INCREDIBLY FUN time at camp.  His counsellor described him as “so polite” and “fearless”.  Absolutely nothing I didn’t know.  I couldn’t wait to pick him up today.  Some kids are just good huggers, y’know?  He is definitely one of those.  And here’s the next thing he can be fearless on …

 3.  And there’s the girl.  Do you know how many millions of names we have for Camryn?  Cami, Ryn, Cami-Lou-Who, Missy, Princess, Peanut, Sweet Pea, Cam, Camalamadingdong, Luna Bear … it just goes on.  I’m not just going to brag about her because she’s so incredibly cute … she’s getting really smart.  Today, she told me that Derek wasn’t being appropriate.  I asked her what he did.  She said, “If I tell you, then I’m not being appropriate, am I, Mom?”  Sigh.  She’s 3 going on 33, I tell ya.

 So, that’s my shameless braggin’ of the week. 

 Oh, one more?  We got a trampoline this summer (best investment EVER … we love it!).  They boys often get really hot jumping around, and Camryn has to be just like her brothers …. (yet more appropriate ….)
