Last evening Thomas got to swim in a "meet". It was only our local team, and even then only 1/2 of the team (the rest swim this evening). They divided it by age group. As an aside, thank goodness it isn't this evening while I am watching the Reds game. Although it was no where near "normal" (we weren't allowed inside the fence, and many other differences, it was still nice to see my kiddo in the pool. He has got to learn to KICK!!!! Ugh! Anyway, we enjoyed having an evening to almost feel like things in the world aren't overwhelming.
When we got home last evening though, my emotions took a hit. Thomas mentioned when he got in the vehicle that his 50m free time was faster than the best that Robert has posted. I wasn't aware, but apparently Thomas had texted Robert to let him know in hopes that Robert would be proud of him. Of course, Robert didn't respond. We don't even know if Robert still has the phone number. I suspect he does not. It hurts to see my kids disappointed when it comes to their brother.
Overall though, it was fun to watch some kids in the water last night!
