I interrupt my travelogue and tell you of my star swimmer, one seven-year old girl. Now knowing my own history of swim team (I think I was scared to go into the cold water and that was it) and knowing that Izzy takes after me much more than her athletic mother, this makes me even more proud and astounded. Last night, at the first full meet of the season, my Isabella came in 3rd place (that would be a bronze medal if it had been the Olympics) out of six swimmers in the backstroke. She missed 2nd place by less than 1/10th of a second. I am so proud of her. I keep getting goose bumps every time I relive the moment.
