Man, I don't know what's happening to me. I did something I never thought I would. I bought a button. I got a button with my kid's picture on it and I plan on wearing it. Me, a button.And why, why did I get a button? Well, I'll tell you. Because my kid is a freakin' rockstar! First of all we woke up at 6:20 on a Saturday morning, the first of many more to come, for Emma's swim meet. Which I'm none too happy about, but apparently I can't tell my kids no when they ask to be involved in an activity. Unless it's Girl Scouts.
Anyway, swim meet, early, COLD. Emma had her heat times from last week. And this week, pardon the pun, she blew them out of the water! The girl shaved 14 seconds off her freestyle, 14 seconds!! She was the most improved swimmer by far! And then she took 10 seconds off her backstroke. And it would have been more, except halfway through she decided to play pinball off the ropes. So if she can just straighten it up, I guarantee she'll take another 5 seconds off. See, Rock Star! She was so proud of herself, and I was so proud of her!
Proud enough to buy a damn button!

Aw! Wear that button proudly! I can't wait to wear buttons... and drive minivans...and get nine inch zippers... just kidding... well, about the van and nine inch zipper. I really DO want to wear buttons! ;)
Oh...wait... 9 inch zippers are what we refer to as the "mom pants," around here. I know you know what I'm talking about!
That is awesome and totally button worthy! I wish I had a button to wear for my oldest. He scored his second goal of the season today in soccer. I've never seen his that proud before.
14 seconds? That is amazing! Send me a button, I will wear it for you!
awwww, wear the button! what a great little swimmer!
Congratulations! What a wonderful accomplishment. I love her smile and the idea of the button :)
I love the button - now every meet you need to wear it in a different spot to crack her up - you know, in the middle of your hat - above your right knee, hang it as a BIG earring - she will love it - and yes Amy - refrain from the rear area...and no chest jokes...but really - it could be hilarious!:) Once you could even cut out the same sized pic of YOU and tape it over it one meet and see if she notices or better yet - of Steven... or KANGA!!!! HAHAHAHA HAHAHA :) Seriously - I am cracking UP - you must.
Wow! She's so awesome that I want a button too! Great job, Emma!
That's awesome! I'd buy a button too!
That really is amazing. Wear that button with pride!
Way to go, Emma! You betta wear that button with pride, Amy!
WTG Emma! Enjoy that button and wear it proudly.
You are sliding down that slippery slope towards Swim Mom, which is at least two evolutionary steps above Soccer Mom. Congratulations!
That's great. I'm totally going to be that mom, too. You know what? I'm not allowed to watch the Stros anymore...I've managed to catch all of 4 games this year. And, in 3 of them, they were winning & managed to choke within four minutes of me tuning in. Maybe the kid is good luck. I turned on the game twenty minutes ago & they are actually increasing the lead. Hmmm...
She's so cute! I'd wear it too!
Yup - you need to wear that button! She is so pretty and a great swimmer!
14 seconds is amazing! Maybe the water was cold and she was in a hurry to get out.
Ha. Funny. If you're going to wear a big button with a picture on it...well, I can't think of a better one.
And your daughter sounds like a swimming rock star. So cool.
Great job, Emma! Brag away, Mom :)
Ha Ha - next thing we know you'll be driving around a minivan with window decals of our your kids names. Go Emma!
You are so cute with your button!
Wow...you go girl! I think I want a button:)
Wear that button with pride!!! And make a matching one for your husband.
YAY Emma!!!!
Wear that button, momma. Then you need one of those drawn on kids on the back of that minivan you *need* to get.
