Darwin

I got a new cat. My mom and dad decided to name him Darwin.

I wanted to name him Michael Phelps, but was outvoted.

Darwin is a little scared right now. She clawed Dad and he was bleeding all over.

Sledding

Dad and I went sledding at Art Hill. Obviously dad is out of shape. Just close your eyes and listen to him breathe and groan.

I had a lot of fun. We road together and I went by myself.

Parkway Meet

I went to my second swim meet at Parkway North High School. My Dad took me on Saturday. Unfortunately, my events weren't until Sunday.

This time I swam the 25 and 50 freestyle. This was the first time I did the 50 and I forgot to turn and go back.

I was a little scared because I was at a new pool, but I did great. Mom and Dad are really proud of how hard I try.

Afterwards we went to Red Robin to celebrate.

Christmas Morning

Santa came this morning and left a bunch of cool presents. I am still playing my new Leapster. I could barely put it down to write this blog.

Evan Harryhausen

I had some fun with stop motion animation.

Swim Meet Me in St. Louis

I competed in my first swim meet yesterday. It was very cool. I swam in 25 backstroke and the 25 freestyle.

I didn't win either heat. In backstroke I kept looking back to make sure I wouldn't hit my head. Mom and Dad said that if I had just kept swimming I would have won.

In the freestyle I was the only 5 yr. old in the heat, but I still only came in a few seconds behind the other swimmers.

Hopefully, I will get to go again in January.

Swim-a-thon Fundraiser

I don't know if I have mentioned it, but I love to swim. Last night I told my mom and dad that when I am in the water I get energy.

My dad thinks that I may be the love child of my mom and the man from Atlantis (Patrick Duffy).

Last week we swam with the big kids. We got to do our own stuff and we dived. I like the freestyle the best.

But now I want to get the the heart of the matter. I swim for Clayton Shaw Park (CSP) which is part of U.S.A. Swim, the group that trains future Olympians. We need to raise money so we are having a swim-a-thon.

I you want to sponsor me please leave a comment and my mom and dad will get back to you.

I get a kick of you

I didn't know if I would like soccer or not, but my mommy and daddy signed me up anyway. I ended up really, really loving it. My mom swore she would never become a soccer mom, but I'm so cute, she does a lot of things she swore she would never do.

School Daze

My backpack was heavy today because I had all of my supplies. Today is my first day of kindergarten. This is my new backpack. It lights up. We already saw the Wall-E movie. I have my own hook for my stuff.
