My Swimmers!!!

  
The boys had a swim meet tonight and they both made me so very proud:)

Xander’s illness can wreak havoc on his joints, and his doctors have said that the best thing for his health is swimming. 

Xander doesn’t love it, but he gets that it’s what he needs to do to keep his joints lubricated, and being the responsible boy that he is – he sticks with it!!!

The deal we made was that if he kept swimming, he wouldn’t have to swim in meets if he didn’t want to.

But he chose to swim in this one! (Which may or may not have something to do with the fact that I told the boys that I’d give them each $5 for every race they improved their time in:)

Both boys did amazingly well! And I am pleased to say that I am now $20 poorer:) 

After the meet we went out for our customary ice cream celebration!! Way to go boys!!!
