nervous face. 10.31.2010.
avery, warming up. 10.31.2010.
the boy behind him is one of his best friends since kindergarten!
avery competed in his first swim meet on sunday. he was nervous. we have never even attended a swim meet and i think a lot of his nerves stemmed from simply having no idea what to expect. the meet was held at the swim complex at Oklahoma City Community College. it is a very nice complex...designed for competitions. tobin and i had to remain in the stands and avery was across the pool with his team. i was willing him (since i couldn't talk to him) to go to his coach and get some info. i was driving tobin crazy with the willing (i guess i was willing him out loud) and he threatened to not sit by me if i didn't simmer down. avery (finally) asked his coach to explain how it would all go down, which he did and i could see avery's nerves settle down (mine, too). he did great! his coach was happy and one of his teammates complimented him on how well he did, especially for his first meet.
