Slow Swim....

She took a slow swim last night in swim class, her lap times were much slower than last week. She seemed a little tired, less competitive but she held her reserve through swim class.

This week has been a "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" week.

Out for school on Easter break and Baby C found herself at a different persons house each morning.

My mother said "Its not right that you have her going from house to house all week".

My mothers frustrated words were merely a reflection of her guilt. Guilt that she's not here to take her for the week. I told her to not feel bad, life always has a way of sorting itself out.

I wonder what Baby C's older self will say about her younger years....I think she'll lament that it wasn't that bad.

The close friend Baby C is with today I met 7 years ago at a swim class.

Our 2 year old babies out there splashing the waters while a close bond was forming.

I never would have guessed a chance encounter would have blossomed into such a beautiful relationship to the point where I'd feel completely comfortable entrusting my child in her company for the day....

Soon after arriving at work she text me a picture of them sitting down eating breakfast mesmerized by the tv...oblivious to what memories they're making and hopefully friendships they're now forging.
