This morning Braden's swimmers had an intrasquad meet to start the season off. Since it started at 8:00am and I knew there wouldn't be too many spectators, I figured it would be a good opportunity for the kids to see the swimmers in action. Probably their only opportunity this year (at least both at the same time) because the other meets are so crowded and there is no chance that one of my children will sit still, let alone 2 at the same time, for several hours on end.
Of course we didn't make it there by 8:00 (it's a stuggle every day to get to day care by about 9:00), but we got there probably around 8:30. Not too bad! I had dressed the kids in their hokie gear (since it was an intrasquad meet, Ethan wore maroon and Blythe wore orange...I know...how clever of me) and we came ready to cheer! About as soon as we sat down, Blythe started cheering "Go Hokies!" Always cute when she says that, never gets old. Ethan seemed a bit overwhelmed by the loud noises and cheering, but I think he liked it. He even started clapping! It was the first time I have seen him clap. I think that's a "first" in the baby book, so I need to remember this day...Sept. 27.
We couldn't stay to the end...Ethan was getting too tired, but it was fun. Today is rainy, so definitely an inside day. A little while ago we went to Lowe's to get some shelving stuff for the garage so we can store all our crap so we can park 2 cars in the garage when it gets cold. Now it's a matter of actually putting the shelving up. Seems like an easy project, but no project is ever as easy as you think it is.
Anyway, maybe Ethan will want to work on his crawling later today. He seems so close, but he gets frustrated so easily. Just like Blythe was...he actually makes forward progress when he's frustrated and mad but he's too busy being mad to notice he's getting anywhere. Oh well, it won't be long and then he won't be the same baby anymore. He'll be "mobile Ethan"...uh, oh.
