Harry's World v2

The hits just keep on coming!

Chalk up another big week for Harry!

As previously discussed, he passed the swim test at our pool... walking taller ever since.

Got an email from one of the other Alexandria Lacrosse Club coaches, asking if Harry would be interested in joining a "very competitive full field" fall league with some of the other kids from his division... bigger, better, faster (oh, and in MD)

Had a HUGE week at YMCA swim camp... passed four (count 'em 4!!!) of the incremental swim tests, working now on Level 5, and was awarded "Camper of the Week!" Also was asked by one of his camp counselors if he would consider coming out for the swim team this Fall!

During Friday's karate lesson, his sensei came out to talk to me about him moving up into the Junior level classes... "usually we don't do that until 8 or 9 years old, but he's very mature, and one of the highest ranking kids we have" ... awesome!

Saturday saw him score several trys with his U7 Rugby team, and earn some serious kudos in the lunch line from his coach... love it!

Biggest Weekend Ever

Sure it was 4th of July Weekend...

Sure it was after the first week of swim camp for the summer...

Sure there were about 10 other kids taking their swim test at the same time...

Sure Harry was one of the smallest and possibly youngest of the 10 other kids taking their swim test at the same time...

Sure a couple of them didn't pass...


Harry wasn't one of them.




Guess who we had to fight off of the diving board the rest of the day?

Guess who was up at 6:45 the next morning, fully dressed in swim trunks asking "what time does the pool open?"

Yup.
