One Proud Momma!

As my children grow older I have come to know 100% that my heart walks outside my body. As a parent, you want so badly for your child to not only be successful, but more importantly FEEL successful. You want for your child to have friends and be liked and live a happy life. And you know that these things are sometimes...often times, not in your control.

Taylin had her first competitive swim meet this summer. I was very nervous for her. There is something about competition that brings out extreme emotions in me...even when I have nothing to do with the competition. But when my own child is involved, a knot is formed in my stomach and a lump in my throat.

She did AWESOME in her first meet! I couldn't have been more proud. Here's to many more knots in my stomach and lumps in my throat. Not to mention tears in my eyes!
