Proud Moments

I was so proud of Lily today! About 2 weeks ago she swam her first swim meet for her new swim team YMCA. She had a really good meet!

She came in 2nd place overall for Girls 11-12 100 M Freestyle and she won the Princess Patch for her character.

The email from the coach said this:

This meets Princess is awarded to Lily Gjerde for believing in herself. Lily tried her first 200 IM. Lily listened to her coach and did a legal back turn which they had been working on the day before the Virtual Meet. Even though she DQ’d we are proud of how hard she tried.


While I was ecstatic about her achievements, she was most proud of her classmates commenting that she was the best singer in their group! I don't know why she doesn't sign up to do chorus at school!
